Hi there,

Just found out about this site. The first thread I read was the "109 Ways" to save fuel. I was surprised and pleased that they had some I had not thought about. Actually I had figured out almost all of them myself.

I have three cars and I am proud to say all of them are less than 2 liter engine displacement. I have have the new Fiat 500 which is an excellent car. The love of my life is my 1997 VW Passat TDI - still gets a reliable 45 mpg. Better than the newer VDub diesels. Third is the Chevy Aveo. Gas mileage is somewhat disappointing for a 1.6 Liter, about 30 mpg. But despite the press you hear about it, that car has been bullet-proof since 2004 !

Looking at the diesel Cruze as my next car once the VW and the Aveo are retired.

We'll be talking,
-- Andy
