Her is my last email from the reporter:
It will air in May, so I’d like to shoot it in April. What days of the week and what times are you available? I’d like to get a quick interview with you about simple ways to save on gas and some more extreme things people are doing to save money.

The idea of 3 sound bites is a good one and will likely be just what he is looking for for his first part.

My thought so far are:

Slow down/ do not be in a rush- haste makes waste.
Get a mpg feedback device- can you loses weight if your never get on a scale?
Plan your route to avoid traffic, excesses stop lights, unnessicary stops.

Feel free to add/ modify my list,it's just what is on the top of my head.

What are your thoughts for the second part? The extreme parts.

I was thinking of walking him through most of the mods to my car, starting with the easy ones aka grill block and pizza pans and getting more extreme as I go ask side mirror delete and boat tail.

Ideas?


Btw this might motivate me to wash and vacuume my car
