Even with today's relatively inexpensive gas prices, who doesn't want their car to get better fuel economy? The problem is, there are very few auto accessories -- fuel magnets, vortex generators, etc. -- available that legitimately bump up your car's gas mileage. So what if I told you that two of the most effective mileage enhancers were plywood and bondo. OK, not necessarily those two (they were just the first two to come to mind), but according to the creator of the Aerocivic: aerodynamics is everything.

If you've never heard of the Aerocivic, it's basically a '92 Honda Civic with the original engine and over 350,000 miles -- eco-modded to oblivion. During the post Katrina gas price hike, Mike Turner decided to convert his subcompact into a no hold barred hypermiling beast. Simply by rounding out all aspects of his Civic's body with some aluminum rods and Lexan to lower his drag coefficient, he's more that doubled the vehicle's EPA rated 47mpg highway. Check out this gallery to see the details on this amazing Civic that only a mother (or hypermiler) could love.
