<DIV>If you want some addln tips on saving fuel, check out the 'hyper-mile'
sites. Some of these guys are getting well over 150 mpg with stock hybrids
in closed course competitions. Most are reporting over 75 mpg in normal
driving. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of more interest to me were the reports from people driving pickups and
SUVs increasing their mpg by 50-75% using some of the techniques.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, 'proper tire inflation' isn't necessarily what the car manufacturer
recommends. The car manufacturers are as concerned about your ride comfort
as they are with mpg. An addition 3-5 psi can have a noticeable/measurable
positive impact on your mpg (and your tire wear).</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought one about 3 years ago for the Winnebago.
It has helped me save a lot of fuel. A couple of non-recurrent "check engine"
lights were non events after Google searching. Since it is quick & easy to
move to another vehicle it is well worth the price. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2>On the subject of oil/gas prices, I recently
purchased this device, in the interest of learning how to save gas:
(and, I admit I am a gadget freak).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2>I was getting about 26.5 mpg with my Nissan
Frontier pickup driving to/from work and locally. With the instant
feedback I was getting from the above device, I learned how to change my
driving habits, and on the last tank of gas I got 31.8 mpg. I now
get better gas mileage locally than I get on the highway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2>Obviously, the best way to save gas is to slow
down. But I was learning when was the best time to shift gears (manual
transmission) and which routes really save gas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=arial size=2>Just thought I would share with the
