Seeking photos for a hypermiling news story - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

Hello everyone! I tried messaging the admins about this but never heard back.

My name is James Gilboy, and I'm working on a feature story about hypermiling for The Drive (can't link because new account, but we're easy to find). I'm looking for photos of people's modified cars, and info on how much their mods have boosted their mileage. Owners will be attributed according to preference—whether that's by username or by real name if you're comfortable.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your work.

Hello James,

I have a build thread on my modded Prius. It's a work in progress, but maybe there's some material you might like. Here's the link: https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...ent-40050.html

You're free to use text or photos from that thread, as long as proper credit is given. Please give credit to Michael Blacktree. And if you could include a link to my youtube channel, that would be awesome.

Boy if you want a smoking good one somebody needs to find you that red Honda Civic or CRX or something in here with that clear rear spoiler from years ago. That guy sold the car to another member on here. It was good looking and got insane gas mileage. Also, a good thread with lots of data and photos to choose from.

You will need some bones to hang the red meat on. I'd be asking (maybe a poll?) what are considered the most sigificant contibutions to our hive mind.

To include aerocivic and that Autospeed journalist who blew through here a while back.

My own contribution seems to be hot air. But here's a picture of my range extender.

Best so far was at 45MPH through Eastern Oregon at 3AM -- 34MPG. Stock 1600 except carb was downsized from a 34PICT to a 32.
