I am extremely pleased with my first test result using the principles learned on this website.
I got 35MGP over 302km.
That may not sound WOW at first glance, but wait....there's more!
This was achieved by a 1998 Land Rover Defender 110
Curb weight = 4363lbs
CD = 0.65
Permanent 4x4
large Mud tyres
EPA not available, but the following was pulled from another website, assumed to be NEDC values:
20.8/23.3/21.6
(I am about 62% over that, with room for improvement!)
I still hit heavy bumper to bumper traffic in Johannesburg on both legs of the trip.
I hope to improve on this by installing an engine kill switch, alternator kill switch, and leaving home earlier to avoid the wrath of the traffic.
Onward to 40MPG
