Maybe because I'm lazy. Since I've joined Ecomodder about the only "ecomod" I ever did was I added a grid plate underneath a carburetor and rebuilt an engine trying to make every eco-friendly choice I could within a budget. My current cars, the Avalon and the Prius, are unmodded, except a lousy OEM block heater on the Avalon and a few grill blocks I've had on three different cars that I don't notice do anything except cause the engine to overheat once I go out of town on the highway.

Another thing too is that I've started a couple of aeromods before and my wife didn't like what I was doing. She doesn't want to drive around in a vehicle that's got a boat tail or wings on it. Maybe once I get the Prius running I'll start modding it. But then again, we always go out of town on the highway together in the same car. Around town the speed limit is 25mph townwide except the 35mph main highway that runs through it. So any aeromods or wings would be pretty much useless, other than to take once on the highway just to try to prove a point and nothing else.
