My father in law was famous for this on his 440 powered Dodge Ex CHP police interceptor and a thermoquad.

I never understood his economy thinking: $500 dollar worn out car built for performance doing every stupid trick in Mother Earth news to try and get it to 20mpg. Premise and execution were suspect.

He retired and bought new a ford midsize that got 25 on a 4 banger, had A/C and cruise control.
