Do we know that poster? He's done a lot of mods to his Neon.
I'm right here.

There was a lot more that could have been done, obviously. Right now I'm just having some fun with the car, my new set of tires are high performance all seasons. Quite a change in feel. I don't think I'll be doing anymore ecomodding aside from filling in gaps under the car with scrap coroplast. That is, until I get a new daily driver. I'd really like a Prius c.

The first gen neon is definitely a mpg sleeper. EPA rated 36/37mpg on the freeway under the newer rating system, slightly small frontal area and not really heavy. People have talked about getting over 40mpg on trips for years. Plentiful in junkyards, many factory upgrades available and easy to work on.
