Question What do you think I can get it to?

My Mazda 6 (4 cylinder).

EPA of 21/29 City/Highway

Currently at around 26/37 City/Highway.

How far do you think I can go?? 50mpg??!

I still need a scangague, and complete under belly pan...


I ask because I already broke 41mpg once, drafting though. So I am even thinking 50mpg is not even possible... without drafting... ?? OR is it!

Hi,

If you work on the aerodynamics of the front of the car, then you can improve the FE. This is the area that has the best payoff, by far. That and driving technique; which is helped by having a SGII.

Look to basjoos' "Aerocivic" for inspiration.
You can do it!
