After some lurking, I decided to join ecomodders so that I can actually put in to action some of my ideas on getting a few more mpgs out of my 1995 Nissan Pickup XE.

Here are some of my partially researched and unresearched ideas:

1) Domed hubcaps
2) Grill blocking
3) OBD I to OBD II swap
4) Truck bed aero mod of some kind (I have several ideas ranging from a cap to just removing the tailgate.)
5) Rear diff swawp (possibly getting a rear end from a 240SX)

If anyone wants to weigh in on any of these ideas, please let me know. Good or bad. I'm interested.
