Why not leave a blank area before "MPG" and we can use black vinyl letters to fill in our own numbers or even use a sharpie marker? The marker would be permanent, but I think vinyl letters would peel of if you wanted to change it. Something like bbjsw10 made like this though...........



Or you could make separate ones like...........

30+ MPG
40+ MPG
50+ MPG
60+ MPG
70+ MPG

And so on.

Might be nice to have 35, 45, 55 available as well.

Ten miles per gallon is a pretty large range. You could be getting 39 miles per gallon and showing a "30+" sticker.

Your friend drives a 25 mpg vehicle and thinks "Thirty plus? Ha, that's only a little better than I get..."

I use plastic page sleeves (8.5 x 11") taped to the rear side windows and simply slide in pages with my current MPG results. Also double for sun shades and are big enough to be read from distance. For the rear, I cut the plastic sheet in half and put it into the lower right corner to meet vehicle codes. Still the same sign from the side windows but I folded it down to fit into the 8.5 x 5.5" sleeve.

Nobody has approached me on my "42+ mpg" but it sure does get people off my tail faster than when I didn't have them before. Maybe people think it means I only drive at 42 mph???

I see what you are saying so here ya go.







And 1 special one for you Ben.!!






I just hope no one gets mad at me for making these if so I can remove from photobucket. I mean no harm just trying to get some publicity for this awesome site. It has changed my life so much easier to pay bills when not forking all my money out for gas all the time.
