Hello from Minnesota!

Hello everyone!

I've been actively reading the ecomodder forums for a few weeks now and figured it's about time I join in!

I drive a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 with the Ztec engine & 5-speed, & look forward to sharing my ecomodding & driving experiences with you.

Brief history:
Pre-hypermiling MPG - 21.5 MPG (admitted heavy foot)
Last tank - 29.5 MPG ("beginner" hypermiling)

Just got a ScanGauge & fresh air filter/oil change.
We'll see how instant information will help me fine-tune my driving.
I'd like to see 35 MPG+ (average) I drive 70% city 30% highway.

Be seeing you in the forums!!!

Thanks for the warm welcomes!
I've got my car put into the EM Garage.
This should be fun keeping track of my fuel economy, a good motivational tool if you will
I'll try to get some pictures online sometime soon.
