Re: How can I improve fuel economy?

expensive way to do it but ceramic bearings will help a lot. They are hot ticket in racing world. A car that runs 7 second 1/4 mile times can pickup.02 and 1 to 2 mph just from the reduction in drag. A guy I know in Kansas said his tow ropes retractor would actually move his car on level ground since he went to full ceramic bearings in car. Now front bearings alone run 200 to 300 bucks,but are good for million miles or so. How long to regain 300 if you pick up 1.5 to 2 mpg? Just throwing it out there.
