i get alot worse mpg barefoot, as stated above i can definitely get a better feel barefoot but that's the problem, it's a nice feeling lol. the worst problem is i will find myself curling my big toe thus pressing harder down on the pedal, if i drive barefoot with the window down, hypermiling is out the window no matter what car. i just thoroughly enjoy the drive
in the winter with shoes on is when i get my best mpg. i've heard cars run better in the cold the air is more dense so it contains more oxygen. but, the air is more dense and harder to move through, but the road is colder equaling less rolling resistance. so, idk which is better it all has to be done specific. but i do think warm air intakes are kinda dumb. the reason i think some work are because of intake air temp sensors may throw less fuel idk, one guy i knew permantly put a resistance on his ecu engine tempature sensor so the car though it was over heating and put less fuel it was slow and all but at 45 mpg vs 32 who can care?
