I am willing to throw down some money to improve FE but not enormous amounts. If I was to do that I would just go out and buy a more effcient car.I have done other things to be more "green".

I have gotten my mom to start recyling, we started 3 months ago and every week we put out 3 large bins of recyclables plus two or three milk crates full of them. I've gotten a family of 5 down to one bag of trash from 4-5 a week. Plus all of the lights are now CFL's and we leave the windows open more.
