Hi Albino Raven - you're officially the closest EcoModder member to me - I'm just up the St. Lawrence in Brockvegas.

I second the request for a few photos of your Echo. I'm surprised I haven't seen it around - I DEFINITELY would have stopped to talk to the driver about his car if I'd seen DIY smooth wheel covers and rear fender skirts!

Just to clarify, are you talking miles per US gallon or Imperial? Your use of "tyre" made me wonder.

I assume you really needed a truck for truckish duties? It's going to hurt doubling your fuel use just for commuting, no?
