And I guess that is what I'm getting at. I see most modifications listed with a % increase in mileage, but that doesn't, necessarily, seem to be the best way to state the effectiveness of a modification. However, generally speaking, it does seem like certain vehicles are more affected by certain modifications and less affected by others.

The other thing I guess I'm trying to figure out is whether these modifications are interdependent or affected by other modifications on the same vehicle. So, to continue with the example that I started above, would the effectiveness of modifications x, y and z on vehicle A produce the same percentage/actual gains independent of the other modifications. For instance, if x and y both result in a 10% increase on car A (~20 mpg), would they both result in 2 mpg, or would one be 2.2 mpg, or would they both be 2.2 mpg, or could they in combination result in even higher numbers? In a word: synergy.
