Same story here.

I got involved in ecomodding to save money back when I had a primary vehicle that got fuel economy in the 20's. For the last 20 years our primary car has returned fuel economy in the 45 to 50 mpg range. Then 7 years ago we bought our first EV and our fueling cost dropped into the 3 cents per mile range. I can't see spending dollars to save pennies.

I'm still interested in efficiency tech - but more from the manufacturing side than retrofits.

Today my ecomodding is limited to running my tire pressure a bit higher to reduce rolling resistance - and increase the cornering grip.
