19bonestock88's 07 "Malibu Eco" build
So, this all began about two months ago when I was complaining about my cars fuel mileage, but I usually would add, "I'm sure it would help if I slowed down"... I was at the time driving aggressively and pretty fast, usually 10-15miles over the speed limit on my commute, and getting 22mpg...
I decided I would plug in my UltraGauge and see if I could improve this number...
Trip averages(on the un calibrated device) went from around 25 indicated mpg, to around 35... Intrigued by this apparent 45% fuel savings just from driving a little smarter(slower), I started pushing further, and on a really slow trip into town, I managed an indicated 36.1mpg...
And so, the Eco-modding began...
