Hi, all! I recently gave up my old (not-so-trusty-anymore) '96 Accord wagon guzzler and bought an '02 Chevy Prizm. It's a step in the right direction, but unfortunately, it has the 3-speed auto, not the 4-speed OD. Since I'm going to need new tires soon, I'm giving serious though to changing the wheels (currently steel wheels with the ugliest hubcaps I've ever seen) as well, to reduce weight. I know there are plenty of driving tips to conserve fuel; unfortunately, I haven't found much info on how to utilize a lot of those techniques with an automatic.
So anyway, after lurking for awhile, I'm a registered member, and I look forward to being part of this group.
Take it easy!
