lol The best idea for better economy would be to not buy a heavy ass truck.

Build the website, or we could just throw all these ideas into a thread on the FAQ page.

Web site sounds like a great idea. I am always open to hearing about how others have achieved better mileage. I get an average of 15 mpg, city highway mixed, in my 72 Burb and am always looking to improve upon that.

On second thought you wont get that far in a METRO... ...just go treat yourself to a night out at the strip club. You will get lots of attention then!

That is the topic of summer. I'd sure read it. Thanks - John

Well, I always wondered if skinnier tread size would help. Like going from 9" tread width to 8". Wonder if it would ride quieter too.
Also my idea of porpusing is riding within 3' of rear of semi in the slipstream. (If any teenagers are reading that last part was a joke.)
