With the two last tanks, driven with rear wheel skirts :
. | mi. | US g. | mpg | % over EPA |
Tank1 | 728.3 | 13.77 | 52.88 | 50.64 |
Tank2 | 760.8 | 14.17 | 53.69 | 52.95 |
Tank3 | 803.0 | 14.59 | 55.02 | 56.74 |
Tank4 | 797.0 | 14.04 | 56.78 | 61.73 |
Tank5 | 660.9 | 11.38 | 58.08 | 65.45 |
Total | 3750.0 | 67.95 | 55.18 | 57.18 |
Average | 750.0 | 13.59 |
The skirts do help in coasting duration. On some small down slopes before I was loosing a little speed and now I gain a little speed. The skirts change the feeling of the car so much that I'm accelerating too fast and often drive over my max speed.
While I was improving by 4%/tank without the skirts, I'm improving by 5.5%/tank with the skirts, ie a +33% improvement in the improvement
