Title: Aerodynamics and certain mods you have or want to install but too concerned MPG Post by: 2i2dk1ny2i3 on March 07, 2015, 09:01:19 AM my top 3 would be:
1. new Side Mirrors - help w/aerodynamics however minimal 2. Mud Guards - would decrease in the amount of water and debris to sides 3. Roof Rack - when actually needed and they somehow look better 68 vehicle mods for better fuel economy... http://ecomodder.com/forum/fuel-economy-mpg-modifications.php (http://ecomodder.com/forum/fuel-economy-mpg-modifications.php) Vacuum Gauge on the way and will report findings w/one and before Title: Re: Aerodynamics and certain mods you have or want to install Post by: timot_one on March 07, 2015, 10:31:50 AM So, are you trying to say you're going to replace your mirrors and remove the roof rack and mud guards for better fuel economy?
When I think of aero, it's more along the lines of performance and not economy.

I think a more aerodynamic car would definitely help performance, stability and road handling but at the same time improving fuel economy.
