Improving your mileage... Substrate on Monday September 25, 2006 at 10:40 AM EST Some interesting links I just ran across: evworld.com Phil Knox's streamlined 1994 Toyota Tacoma pickup saw its fuel economy go from 25 mpg to 32 mpg at 70 mph just by improving its aerodynamics, reducing its Cd from 0.44 to 0.25, the same as the Honda Insight gasoline-electric hybrid. wisil.recumbents.com Passenger Car Aerodynamics Getting the most out of the car you have. maxmpg.org This one's cross referenced with the others but the guy got sent to Iraq. UPDATE: Progress on my truck is at a standstill for now. As of April 2006, I received orders to Iraq and will be there for at least until April or May of 2007. When I get back, I'll get started again with the goal of 40 mpg. Before I left, my average mileage was 28 to 32 mpg in mixed city and highway driving. [ Reply to This ]
