Which ecomod is better than ecodriving ?
This 6% is granted whoever drives, ecodriver or not.
An ecodriver will have a 6% effort-less bonus, not negligible
15000 miles at 35mpg is 428 gallons
15000 miles at 33mpg is 455 gallons
Result : 455 - 428 = 27 gallons free and 250 kg CO2 not sent to the atmosphere (see my sig). My son (and I if I'm always alive) will thank these efforts in 50 years.
And this cardboard ecomod is only a test. Done in a more weather proof way, as metrompg and others know how to do it, it could be stealth. My white coroplast front grill block on my light grey car doesn't attire a lot of looks.
