I still think that in your case, ambient temperatures for your otherwise well controlled coast downs may have been a problem.
I think I kinda misspoke my question about the tail. I was simply asking if your fuel logs could be analyzed to give a fairly decent measure of fuel economy improvement. I know it isn't the way you wanted to go at the analysis, but it would be helpful to all of us if you did the analysis - which wouldn't be very difficult. Problem with someone else trying to do that analysis is that we don't actually know when the tail was on and when it was off. Of course, there may be other changes which will have distorted the data. Just asking  |
Hi Jim,
OK, finally got around to looking at pictures taken of the car with the tail on and off and have updated the fuel mileage logs to reflect this....
Tail was taken off car at 06-05-11 and found water logged
Tail was put back on car at 09-25-11 after painting with primer.
Happy number crunching Jim.
Jim.
