    Can you improve your miles per gallon with just £50 to spend on mods? Fuel is EXPENSIVE at the moment. So, we tried to turn 3 cheap cars into greenified ecoboxes to save some money.
    So let’s see what we did to the cars
    Here’s the challenge. £10 of fuel in the UK gets you roughly 6 litres of fuel. We need to get to a pub that I’ve chosen in Bell End which is 47 miles away. That means we’d need to AVERAGE over 35mpg. That’s an easy job for your Nan’s Yaris, but not an easy job for these three idiots in these three cars.
    So, the challenge was set. But, before we’d even left the car park, Callum’s TT was already causing him problems.

      @shaft9000 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Whoa, you're conflating two different purposes here:
      Spoiler = to reduce turbulence, and so reduce drag
      (inverted) Wing = to create downforce directly above the contact patch of the tire, achieved by _ increasing drag_
      or iow,
      think about what a bird's wing flapping does - it contacts more and more turbulent air to generate lift.
      Now flip it, invert it = downforce.

    PSA for anyone who reads this:
    Higher numbers at the gas pump is actually just a rating of the fuel’s stability-its ‘Octane’ rating. Higher Octane rated fuel produces smoother, more controlled combustion, leading to improved performance and fuel economy.
