I found this site in a hotel in Jackson Tennessee.

I was on my way home from visiting the grandparents for Christmas in 2007. The hotel gave me my first internet access in over a week. While clicking around I found an article on wired.com about the Aerocivic.

A few weeks later, I filled up my paper fuel log for my old Hyundai. I signed up here when I remembered that Ecomodder had fuel logs.

Links from other forums.

I don't even bother to post on the same "other forums" any more.

Like Daox, I found my way here via MetroMPG.com.

I remember reading the articles that Darin posted, always waiting for the next installment. Then the posting slowed and I found out why - he was working on articles here. The rest is history. Thanks Darin, you have contributed so much to the hypermiling community.

I came here via an article about Forkenswift, likely either from Fark or Slashdot.

After getting my license I was driving my mom's "gas saver" car, a 1990 Mercedes Benz, until I got my own. Thing was I could actually observe the gas gauge's descent in a to-from trip across town and knew I could do better. One night in January I must have punched in those key words, "improving fuel economy", and found ecomodder. Since then, I've adjusted the nut behind the wheel and the rest is history

I googled Forklift motor shaft and ended up here. Looks like just the place to get info on converting my riding mower to electric.

Googling MPG instrumentation and wound up here. I've always had an interest in aerodynamics and learning ways to make processes that I'm forced into doing *driving to and from work* more efficient. Now it's like a fun game of "how high can I get that number!".
