Toe set to 0: results (front end alignment)
Because it isn't listed on the wiki page, I wanted to post my results of having the tow on my tires aligned to 0. I don't have it in A-B-A format since I can't align the tires myself.
Anyway, pre-alignment I was achieving 39.6 MPGs, and with the alignment I am now getting 41.5 MPGs, which is a 4.8% increase. I should mention that my tires were in need of aligning, but I doubt they were a detriment to my original gas efficiency before the alignment.
I was at first hesitant to go through with this due to claims that 0 tow can make the car feel as if it will fishtail. However, I didn't notice a change in control at all, although my car does seem to drift from side to side in the lane. It's certainly no problem, and it handles the same. That being said, I'm being more careful with it just in case.
I hope this is helpful to someone!
