Find a few ecomodders for some variety - maybe some with long and short commutes, different topology (hills etc.) and maybe different vehicles - small cars (Metros ?), hybrids, Diesel and maybe a truck / SUV.

Or an alternative idea how about a challenge type format.

Take 3-4 average car owners. Give them the list of mods and/or a helper and see if they can get to or above "official" figures. Chart what they do and explain why they think it will work. Kind of like a economy style "Scrapheap / Junkyard Challenge" but maybe with less angry grinders. Then measure their fuel usage either over the same route or their usual route, detail what A-B-A means, detail perhaps what is and what is not safe and effective. Maybe also throw in some unicorn corral entries just for fun.
