Efficiency Mod Pay-Off Spreadsheet

Hey, folks!

I'm on vaction, so I've had some time to consider making some more mods to my Honda Civic (I've been trying to locate a set of HX wheels in particular). The question I keep asking myself is "How long will it take for this mod to pay for itself?" In researching various potential mods, I've seen that other ecomodders have had the same question, so I'd like to share my spreadsheet in hopes that it will be helpful.

I can't post a link until I've posted a few more times, so please scroll down...

I put a page for the spreadsheet on my website. CLICK HERE to access it. Simply enter your fuel price, MPG numbers, the number of miles you drive annually, and the cost of your mod; your answers will be calculated. (I've enabled the "download" feature for the spreadsheet so you can save it to your own computer if you'd like.)

Please let me know of any suggestions you have.
