Dude gets close to 100mpg in that ugly thing, pretty sick. Check out the cars in the bottom of his first post too. At 6'4", I really don't think I'd ever fit into that Metro

100% stock and worn out my hatch get's 41mpg on the nose regular driving and 70 in pulse and glide. i've no doubt if i wanted to hold up traffic 90-100mpg could be a reality.

i think all that ---- is retarded. make an undertray at most and forget all that silly hippie ----.

I've seen near 100 mpg cars that didn't look like a 1950's experimental spaceship. I'd never drive that thing.

I don't get damming off the whole front of the car. Doesn't that kind of eliminate the radiator air flow... which is a bad thing? What if you opened up the front but ducted the air through the radiator and down out the bottom of the bay, while blocking off the rest of the bottom of the bay to keep air out. You might need to tilt the radiator to get it to work right, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Front bay dam + flat sheet across the bottom of the car and you should cut out a lot of the drag. I don't think I could live with that mirror bullshit they did.

Alot of the radiator flow isn't needed. It's one of the first things the "hypermilers" eliminate.

Re: Aerocivic
 

So how do they avoid overheating? My car would overheat almost instantly if I blocked the radiator off like that. How do they keep it cool?

Re: Aerocivic
 

Interesting, kind of looks like a shitty airplane...

Re: Aerocivic
 

There are efficient ways to drive and then there is hypermiling which equates to driving like and -------.

It's not being operated at high RPMs.


In addition he posts on Gassavers.org. Site's like HOnda-Tech; good info but a bunch of assholes.
