Some interesting observations from this mornings commute. Woke up to 50 degree temps and caught most of the lights just right and ended up with a 47.2mpg commute, that is what I would have expected from the Mild HAI. Ram Air did not seem to hurt durning this mornings commute compared to yesterdays commute in 35 degree temps. Perhaps were on to something???
Yep, I understand the Ram Air not being fully sealed could be an issue, but I must remind you about the "Quick and Dirty" aspect. It only took me 45min. to make and I had an hour to complete the job. If the Q&D Ram Air proves to not hurt mpg's, then I'll further pursue sealing it up. However if the non sealed version hurts mpgs, then theres no reason to go crazy sealing it up. Just need some Proof of Concept type studies to determine the direction to go that could yeild the best results. Anxiously hoping it doesn't rain this weekend...
Also, Thanks Metro for your timely post on how to do testing
I'll do my best to follow those guidelines.
