Hey everyone, hope I enjoy it here. Lots of good info on here. Crazy amounts actually.
I currently own a 03 Grand Cherokee, V8 H.O. and it GUZZZZZELS gas, even being gentle and not mashing the accelerator. Using your guys' techniques without even realizing they were called something. Not sure what my actual mileage is. For the sake of argument, it is less than 20mpg, maybe less than 15mpg. My lack of a figure is due to me JUST buying this vehicle (for work), and the gauge being wrong (top dash says 18mpg, but that isn't right based on my mileage divided by gas put in.....).
Anyhow. I suppose this will start a grand questioning, but here is my delinma. I really want to invest in a Volkswagen Golf TDI or something that right of the start I am getting at least 30mpg EPA, then mod er up to 50+ with better driving habits. I suppose my questions are these....
Can I push 30mpg in my current car with mods? I doubt it.
Just ballparking...
(Lower her, make easy aero-fixes(roofrack, fogs, grill, mirrors, etc etc), anything else?)
What vehicles should I be looking around at for a CHEAP car that would be a fun time to mod, and has decent aesthetics? It'd be nice to have something along the lines of a Golf, looks decent, has cargo space, and slammed w/ ground effects they look awesome. Just throw out suggestions..
BUDGET: $2000 or less probably.
Thoughts? Glad to be here.
