What is the Optimal Alignment for MPG?

Those adjustments will keep more of the tread on the pavement during a hard turn. Just remember that the spacers, camber, and wider tires will make you look like a ricer kid and will attract cops to ticket you for those turns...those tickets cost a lot and don't help your FE at all.



haha dont do anything dangerous yes all's im saying is this may have more to offer than trying to find a specific alignment more mpg

disc spacers fit well on drums which I happen to have on the back wheels of my car, they wouldn't fit on the front for me, I got them because I do alot of driving on the highway and saturns dont like wind gusts a whole lot cause of the plastic panels and this helps bigtime... But realized that they allow me to take corners a little easier so now I have the handling of a BMW instead of a saturn. BTW older series saturns handle better than the newer one 91-98 vs 99-whatever because of suspension changes

cops dont think saturns are ricers either cause saturns are american,,

we are cheesburgerer's!

Theoretically 0 toe would give you the least rolling resistance, but you have to consider that putting force on the wheels can affect the toe. So then you try to set the toe to correct for this, namely on the drive wheels. But how are you going to measure that? A loaded dyno/alignment rack?

As far as camber goes, I'd say you'd want to maximize grip for accelerating from a stop, so camber should be close to zero on the drive wheels. Again you might want to take into account what happens when you hit the throttle. The front of the car lifts up, and this gives you a slight positive camber on most vehicles.
