"What is measured gets improved." - John Lawhon from 'The Selling Bible'. Every ecomodder should remember the basic rules and not be a purist. I can put anyone on a streamlined bicycle as the ultimate eco ride. When some one doubles the fuel mileage of a tractor trailer we cheer. When someone doubles the fuel mileage of a Honda Civic we applaud the effort. Better aerodynamics, higher compression ratio, and matching the gearing for lower RPM is the formula for more efficiency. Nothing wrong with restoring old vehicles. I have a 1967 Huffy 3 speed that is getting a make over to a 12 speed TT style bike with an Outlaw aero package that may come in at less than $100.
Enjoy!
