IP: Logged
Message:
I have always wondered about this.
do you get better mpg when you
a.) draft behind a semi?
b.) keep your windoes rolled up
c.) keep your gas at less then 1/5 tank (less weight)
d.) use cruise control all the time.
now you know thats..................

I wouldn't draft behind a semi, they tend to throw stuff up that is bad for paint and glass. I'm not sure about anyother factors but last spring I took my GenII dak on a trip with my girlfriend's sister and brother-in-law and on the way down drafted them in their 98 Jeep grand Cherokee and got great gas mileage, I would have to estimate but I bet it gave me 6-8 mpg better at the least, maybe even closer to 10mpg. I drove home solo and didn't get near as good of mileage.

Its kinda like flying plane
when the wind is with you,
you get there quicker and
with better gas miles.
I wonder if this is the same
on the ground as well.
also, ever think of riging up your ac vent
to your air intake? Talk bout cold air intake.
I wonder if this would work?
just thinking
now you know thats..................
