Midnight - Way to throw a T-bone steak in a room of hungry tigers to see what happens...Seems as if you got the reaction you were looking for!

I've been hypermiling/ecomodding for almost a full year now...found ecomodder in June. I'm not at all mechanically-inclined so my only mods are driving style, neutral P&G and PSI at max (simple adjustments every driver can make for FREE). Since taking an interest in saving fuel/money via the vehicle I have:

a) Reduced my fuel consumption by approx. 15% a month (including going 30 days on 1 tank).
b) Increased my overall mpg from 16 to 20 (a 25% improvement which equates to approx. 3500 free miles a year for me compared to my previous year driving).
c) Started my own "Super Commuter Driving School" where everyday drivers actually pay me to show them how to get better mpg's (my first month in business paid for my scanguage and a months worth of gas).
d) Recruited two co-workers to join in the Ecomodder fun!

Everybody has their own reasons for modding whether it be reducing consumption, saving money or mechanical hobbying. All are a GOOD thing!
