Ive been asked while drive 75mph down the freeway from a driver next to me , he rolled down the window and yelled across the lane, "what kind of mileage are you getting" a sticker like that would surly solve this problem.

I'm used to odd looks/thumbs up/ honks etc.. while traveling.. this is my other vehicle (its veggie powered by the way)


When you want to get a point across , get it across with no doubt.. go big or go home!

man, i've got the perfect stickers for this. they are old extras for numbering the utility trucks where i work. white and about 4-5" high. got a big stack of them...... too bad my mpg isn't anything to brag about.... yet.

i originally got them to put my trail rig's rim size (15") on the lower part of the fender, to piss off the people that put their 20"+ rim size on their fenders in those chrome letters

Home Depot or Lowe's sells and eraser board vinyl, that you can use dry erase markers on. Perfect for what you guys are looking for ...

Not a WINDOW sticker, but I think it works.

If this place ever gets around to making external ecomodder stickers, you would not have to tape on the window cling

Just a note. If your car has factory tinted style windows, such as a Ford Explorer, don't use a grease type marker on it. It can become permanently etched into the surface. I shipped many Fords over the years and they prohibited us from marking on tinted windows. We marked up the non-tinted front windows. FYI.

I prefer to think of it as a tank cling!

Ebacherville, I love it, go big or go home! Thats right. Maybe there is something vain or smug about displaying your MPGS. So what? Maybe thats a good thing. Why do people drive Escalades with 22s on them? Modesty? Nah... Why do people peel out of parking lots for no apparent reason. To try to slip away unnoticed? Nah... Maybe these kind of people need something to brag about to get them to change there habits. I think this is on display alot of times with celebrities. I love the window stickers. I want to wait until I get a 40 MPG average before I throw mine on there. Hell we should make T-shirts that say something about it.
