As in, where are you from in Illinois? -not that the answer will change any

We have 100+ Tips, and they work! Don't be in such a hurry, plan ahead, drive smarter. You should also add fuel economy instrumentation like the ScanGauge to monitor your progress. It'll save you more in fuel than the $150 it costs to buy.

Also check out the "65+ Mods" link at the top of the page.
