What mileage expectations do you have. What do you drive now. Do you do your own repairs? While you could do that it might be much cheaper just replace the transmission with stock. I believe I read some were the MTX transmission 5th gear is external to the case and might be easily upgraded.

Pump up the tires, add a grill block, maybe an air dam and "adjusting the nut behind the wheel" (driving style), you should be able to beat the EPA. Instrumentation with the ability to show instant fuel mileage will go a long way to reducing fuel usage.



While the model specific information may be minimal the concepts work well. Maybe you could be the ecomodder champion for that model.
