We'd need to know everything possible about the car.How it will be operated and where.And what it's baseline performance is as she sits.
And we'd need a budget envelope.
BamZipPow is revisiting the SEARS ROEBUCK 1-wheel trailer as a platform for a gap-filled boat tail.Since they don't 'wag' they require no exotic gap closure and can be 'air-tight' painlessly.
This single modification would allow for the greatest mpg improvement,but might be considered only for out of town unless your daily commute entails a bunch of highway time.
