Hi Everyone!

Ok for starters I drive a Jeep Wrangler 70 miles / day. :eek:

Second, I'm not here to complain about it - i've already done that here http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12488

I'm looking to gather all information, maybe dork out a little bit - and of course, save gas (or replace it.)....

Welcome to ecomodder! We have quite a few jeep drivers on here, :)

Great! Any of the getting over the 14 mpg I'm getting on my DD?

I'm just wondering because I'm about to buy a 2001 honda civic with 150k miles on it for about $5k. Honestly, I'd rather not buy a new car (just yet) if we could get the mpg's up on the jeep.

I've even thinking about aero-modding it; but i'm very interested to know if anyones tried that with success?

I'm not sure what others are doing, but I'm sure they'll chime in. :p

I'd go for the civic as a DD though.

I hear ya on the civic. Although for a couple hundred bucks, I could put my jeep in a bubble. ;)

OMG! I just listened to this: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=91703607

I'm confused, but is this what you're finding? Is the MPG calculation wrong - we should be using the GPM?

huh geeze http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/news/mpg/mpg.html

I like the idea of trading in both for 2 hybrids! or trade the suv in for the wagon and ecomod both of them to get 30+

i'm just confused because i travel 70 miles for a 5 day work week. I'm not sure that anything matters now - if I'm not mistaken, according to that study I should go for anything that gets over 30 mpg and wait till that hybrid gets over 100 mpg.
