Default RE: Improving Gas Economy???

LOL - Exactly! Bought the truck new and drive on weekends or when the situation demands. Paid $1850 for a 95 Geo Prizm (same as the Toyota Corolla, BTW) that gets nearly 40 mpg and requires almost NO maintainence other than basic fluid changes. In 6-7 months with my wife driving about 600 miles a week, it has already paid for itself in fuel savings, insurance savings and keeping the miles off the new truck plus if someone opens a door into it or pushes a buggy into it, I don't care as much.
You want to know the best way to increase your fuel mileage? Read my first paragraph. You can spend $1500 in mods that will net you another 2 mpg or just buy a $1500 Jap beater and stop whining!
