Let's be honest, I appreciate experimenting and improving the efficiency of things.

The problem with the Jeep isn't that it has unaerodynamic wheels, it's that it's a Jeep. I owned a Jeep Liberty for a few years and applied many of the ecodriving techniques, and I averaged something like 18 MPG. The thing is a brick.

I'd drive the Jeep when I need something that behaves like a Jeep, and I'd drive something else when I need to slice through the air and chew up the miles comfortably and efficiently.
