Hi all,
After lots of lurking, gleaning information, I finally registered.
I (well, we, since my wife and I only have one car) have a 2008 Honda Fit (base). Not the most aerodynamic car, but it gets pretty good mileage and can haul all kinds of stuff. The bad news is that I have a roof rack on it (which I remove for long highway trips) because I'm a cyclist and carry my bike on the car regularly. The good news is that I put more miles on my bike than I do the car. My wife doesn't have that option since we have an 8-month-old baby. But we try to drive as little as we can, and it looks like we'll be at about 8000 miles for the past year.
I'm interested in increasing my FE as much as possible without doing anything crazy, like a 10-foot boat tail on the back.
I don't have a lot of specialized knowledge, just a basic understanding of mechanics and aerodynamics.
It's great to see a community that's dedicated to this.
