really? (55 to 79 mpg UK with a handful of aeromods?)

Hello all,

Been an ecomodder fan for years but never needed to join in the debate as the discussions have been truly great in themselves.

But...now I have completed my ecomod setup V1. And to be honest im pretty amazed at the results.

So i'm after some feedback.

Vehicle - Vauxhall / Opel Combo van 1.3 TDI 2006
Ecomods- scanguage, smooth wheel trim (pizza tray), lots of foam strip applied in all shuts and seals, clear sealant in all voids, engine undertray, main area undertray and rear undertray (in correx), tyre max sidewall psi, grill block (eng temp steady 83c).

And the MPG?

I have done between 79 and 91MPG (UK gallons).

I was doing 55 to 58MPG before any mods.

Im I missing something or is this actually quite a possible and hence a true result?

Im still going to do rear arch covers, wiper area spoilerand aerial delete for v2.

For v3 im getting to grips with Flowsquare CPD and planning on making a useful diffuser, and also an easily detachable and foldable kamback (for long highway use- not practical in town as i need my rear doors).

So im also thinking that 100MPG could be reachable if my scanguage is right.

P.s. I use a fuel tracker app to manually track the tank MPG and it is pretty close to the scanguage.
