You have skills that will help you achieve mileage gains.

Please define 'we'.
New posters often think that the world of ecomodders is all the same. Nothing couild be further from the truth.
THe 'we' you refer to is actually a subset of the much larger group who are ecomodding.

I frankly, I would never....and I mean NEVER, do some of the mods or drive the way some do. But I (and many others) are still concerned about geting good mpg and are willing to make adjustments (at times) to achieve that.

as an example, I would NEVER drive without the a/c on. period.

I appreciate the comment concerning my skill set.
