Good article about improving MPGs

Randomly stumbled onto this article.

http://www.omninerd.com/articles/Imp...uel_Efficiency

It is a very good article that uses more common sense and practicality than reliance on theories and the usual "but a friend of my mother's brother's grandfather's niece said it worked so I made my results match."

The writer used a Jeep wrangler so I figure it would be better than something some tree hugger in a civic wrote. That would have a more similar drag coefficient to a truck making the results more relevant. Yeah there are some errors and inaccuracies but if you can read it and understand it you should have the common sense to know why they are wrong (and that it is really minor stuff).

Here's an idea. Want better fuel economy, buy a Prius.

Naw really? I'm glad you attracted our attention to that idea!

His direction was to have more gas in the tank not save money on gas and a Prius just can't compete off road like a jeep.
