My Eco Echo

People made fun when I bought an Echo they said it couldn’t out run a gecko. Called it a four cylinder sewing machine about the size of a large kidney bean. In 01 when the gas was not as high a manual stick I opted to buy. I said gas will go up you wait and see they jeered and laughed, all poking fun at me. I pampered it with K & N filter made sure not a thing went out of kilter. Added a tornado to air intake increasing mpg was piece of cake. With windows rolled down, holding constant speed forty-seven miles per gallon- indeed. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S. Muzzey

I'm glad you liked the write and you are an Echo person too. There is not too many Echos still around in good shape. I wish they were still making them. I have gotten 50 mpg at times but 47 is mostly highway miles. Yes, fill up goes for weeks and weeks! Caryl
