getting a tow

[kitcar]

I was able to replicate my mileage this weekend while going to and from the shack, which is getting in a group of cars and drive with them. This didn't work until I put the side skirts and the rest of the air dam on Stinker.


At 65 mph, driving by myself, I get 25-26 mpg. In a group of cars going 80-90 mph I get 24-25 mpg. Apparently, with the new aero stuff, I'm getting a pretty good tow off of other vehicles. When I started trying this, I figured I'd be killing the mileage and use 14 gallons on the 250 mile trip. I used 10.5. Obviously, the type of vehicle you're traveling with makes a difference. I'll have more details and some video later.

Now I gotta figure out what to call this technique.
