My 2009 Ecomodding resolutions are:

1) Rear wheel skirts for better aerodynamics

2) Smooth wheel covers

3) Partial belly pan in the front (have to leave space for ventilation) from front bumper to front drive shaft axle

4) Full belly pan rear (except under muffler) from rear control arms to rear bumper

5) Reduce unnecessary weight

6) Kill Switch with auto re-start upon clutch been pressed down

7) Partially hybridize my car, with a GM's Chevrolet Malibu or Saturn Aura, Hybrid Belt Alternator/Starter (BAS) for a mild hybrid configuration


I already have done:

1) Disconnected DRL's for less amp draw

2) Installed ScanGauge II

3) Installed Audiovox Cruise Contol CCS-100

4) Modified CC to MPG sensitive logic for (DWL)

5) Changed Oil viscosity to 10W-30

6) Installed a vacuum gauge

7) Increased tire pressure to 40 PSI

8) Installed ignition kill switch for EOC
