I'm so frustrated I can't raise my mpg in city driving. Highway I can avg 35-55 mpg for 15 minutes at a time, depending on traffic conditions, which direction & where I traverse Palisades Parkway. Tires at 45-50psi. 26.1 lifetime mpg avg after 93k. To be fair, I started driving it at 88k miles.

1. Maybe my efficiency will improve in summer?

2. Can I get a 2014 Camry to lean burn without any engine mods? Any cons to lean burn or can it damage the engine?

3. How did you score a volt for $2,300? I might be enticed to buy my 1st car at that price. Some bicycles cost more than that. Amazing find.

4. How significant is lighter wheels in boosting fuel economy & does it justify the cost?

5. Any eco modder Meetups in NYC? I often see old car meetups on Fridays at ceaser's bay in Brooklyn.

6. What percentage of the forum members joined for environmentally conscious reasons? I'm a huge environmentalist, & was led here after proudly posting my personal best chart with me hitting 60 mpg for a few minutes in a non-hybrid vehicle onto endless sphere or ev group on fb. Now I recommend ecomodder forums, after cleverly baiting discussions in groups to get others to seriously consider fuel efficiency.
