Hi all, so after months of reading this forum ive joined up
my current drive is a 2000 Skoda 1.3 mpi estate
which im fighting to keep at 40 mpg, as fuel prices are never going to come down and my 300 mile a week comute isnt going to get shorter i need to improve my fuel comsumption just to stay on an even keel..
my driving duty cycle is about 50% town and 50% motorway so:
do i buy a light car and make it aerodynamic?
or by an aerodynamic car and make it light ?
im drawn towards a light car as F=MA but im all so more than aware that drag increases exponentialy with speed.
I have started to look at the Daewoo Matiz as my "first" ecomodder car as they are light, have reasonable mpg and have become cheap.
do any of you have any expeirance with this car ?
has anybody designed a retractable "boattail" ?
lets hear what you have to say
