That is pretty cool.

I like the idea of a sticker... if it were neat, clean, and slightly obscure...

I am going to check out Staples at lunch. I am also going to go get gas! YAY!!! I am hoping to get my 90 day average above 40MPG! My SGII has my tank mileage at over 42. So who knows what it actually is.
I am also going to see if I can find some thin plexiglass for some aero-improvements for my front bumper. I will check Lowes, and maybe a glass place.

Filled up. I averaged 42.17mpg for the tank. I am up to 39.8mpg avg, but not quite over 40 mpg for 90 days yet. I had a couple really crappy tanks in there. I am still learning.

Yeah, I think the idea of advertising mileage per se is either smug, or vain... or something. By having the symbol for ecomodder, people have to look and have interest before they can really "get" the sticker.

Yeah I think it would also be a good way to show they can do things to increase their mileage as well.

I am still adjusting nut behind wheel but gettin there. 47, then 45 getting there. I am used to stomping on my cars, strangely enough I kinda like taking my time and slowing down, not so stressful. Just drive and listen to music.

I am thinking of finding smaller letters to go under my massive ones that say "ecomodder.com" and it might look good.

I was considering getting a college style marker board and pasting it to the back of my truck so that I could write the MPG of my previous tank of gas and then erase and rewrite every time I filled... Either that or use one of those Walmart "falling prices" signs for the interchangeable numbers feature.

Those are some good ideas, I might have to run to the hardware store today and grab some of those vinyl letters for my back window.

I was bored at work so I photoshopped a pic of my car with a subtle and barely noticeable decal...
