ya...i have people ask me if i have a floor board or if i power the car like fred flinstone....lol. mostly guys from work, but when they ask me how good MPG it gets n they hit the floor. i'm around 39-40 right now, and it's jsut about bone stock. i want aluminum wheels and i'll be doing the grounding kit soon.

any way, i'm hoping that a reduction in unsprung weight will help a lot...rotating mass as well. as well as less resistance in current/voltage so the alternator will be kicking in less. less demand on alt should free up a little power and fuel economy
