Nonetheless an OK run.

Final run of ABA front spoiler Fiesta S | My802.com
Slightly "better" MPG 's w/o air dam even though temps were about 15° cooler.
I need to work more on this as not all is lost.
I read the previous posts and agree with all points given.
I live in Vermont and our state speed limit is 50mph with a few exceptions. I used a route that was 55mph RT 7 from Bennington to Manchester VT. Great ride BTW this time of year with the leaves.
I will modify the grill block I used to have and make a better air dam.
For now any input is greatly appreciated. |
Your average speed is going to have to be as close to 55-mph as possible in order to pull out any meaningful results.And you need to be fully warmed up:engine/transaxle/differential before you ever begin.A 15-degree temp difference can hit you hard by itself.
The shape of the car can be the only variable on the test.
