I do have to get ahold of a car to eco-mod. Maybe one that is less obviously or not usually ecomodded.
Any suggestions?

I would suggest a Sherman tank. It might protect you from the fusillades resulting from your previous posts. What do you drive?

This is the spam thread right? I also started a thread for our new car. I usually just lurk, but this is motivating me to post.

Judging by the number of resurrected threads in the past few days, this is motivating a lot of people to post.

Make EcoModder Great Again.
My number one way to be more eco-friendly (**higher MPG) has always been to inflate tires to 44psi. Cold OR hot. Preferably cold..

No, you miss the point. Entering in fuel logs is actual important information. It's what got me, and I'm sure many others, to this site to begin with. It's also what keeps me coming back. I like to compare my vehicles to what others are getting for MPGs out in the real world. 90% of the posts on this site are irrelevant to me. There are interesting builds and driving techniques here and there but it's the hard stats that keep me coming back. Aero-mods, stripping interiors and most hypermiling techniques can be interesting reads but that's it. An interesting read. It's nothing I'm going to do. I'm willing to bet that's the case with the majority of the members on this site.
But if I have to be a realist......
