This weekend I ended up reinstalling the front splash guard and installing the rear cambers. The rear wheels really needed adjustable cambers so I installed them and gave them an initial setting. The rear sits much better and the two drives I went on since then felt better and there was a lot less drag. I am charging right now then I will get the new wh/mi numbers. For the past month my EV has been 302 wh/mi. That is a 16.7 mile run with no heat or A/C, and lots of stop and go.

That same drive with my 2 KW heater running is 422 wh/mi. I am hoping to be my non-heater drive down to 250 wh/mi. I still have to pump the tires up to 38 PSI or so and that certainly will help. I will know within the next 3 hours what my new wh/mi number is with the new cambers, but I could feel a difference!
