Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

That's one of the best looking cars that have any mods to them.
You get to drive around a cool looking pickup and still get almost 30mpg, that's awesome.

question is... how much did those "mods" cost... and are the fuel savings really offsetting the fuel savings...

I could really only see that being beneficial on the hwy...

That truck doesn't look bad to me, if the wheelwell covers were done more professionally and the hubcaps painted I think it'd look pretty cool.

Proper tire inflation, weight reduction, and easing up on the gas pedal will get you 33 MPG without ugly mods like that.

Yes, I drive a hybrid, but there is an interesting little L/100 km gauge that tells you how much gas you're using.

Some days when I drive like a total ARSE, I can use up to 20L/100km and some days I'm doing 5L/100km

It's all about driving habit.

I was going to suggest a new set of this year's Yokohama AD08's to incrementally improve milage.
Upon closer look, why bother?
