MetroMPG, well the van is probably the only one that done from a pure economy standpoint. I'm actually quite happy with the car as is, so that more of an experiment to see what effect ecomods would have on an older car where high efficiency might not have been as high of a priority. Even though the price of gas is falling, I still don't believe it will stay that way. I'd prefer to stay ahead of that if at all possible.
groar, yep they're a bit different from the asian/euro cars that's for sure! But at the same time, I love checking out some of the foreign cars we don't have access to (Suzuki Altos, Mitsu Minicas, Peugeot 106's, VW Polos and so many more).
Cheers,
Aaron
