Fuel Efficiency

Is there another place or thread that talks about mods that help squeeze every foot out of a drop of gas.

I saw a report on TV where folks are getting 78+ miles per gallon in a VW bug.

Looking to see if anyone is doing the same for a mini?

Here is a link:

Thanks

Uh, no offense, but you should read the guidelines before posting a 'political' comment.

Guideline #10:
POLITICS & BANNING
Discussions related to politics and banning are not permitted.

There are plenty of those types of boards out there on the web, there are a lot of threads having to do with MPG's here on NAM, just search for it and you'll see lots of them!
