Thought I would pop in and say hi. Mostly here to lurk. Mostly looking for ways to improve fuel economy beyond the same stuff you hear everywhere like tire pressure, engine maintenance, unload the unnecessary cargo, etc.
I drive a 4WD 95 Geo tracker. So far I have done some weight reduction in the neighborhood of 100lbs (removal of rear seats and seat belt towers, carpet and sound deadening) and installed a vacuum gauge. From the factory this vehicle had some eco friendly mods already... no power steering, no power windows or locks, no A/C, a 16 valve aluminum block engine, manual transmission and some skinny 205/75R15 tires.
I was getting about 24MPG before I installed the vacuum gauge. Afterward the economy has started to increase but not enough fill ups to see what the average is yet.
