landtank said:I'd actually like to see some simpler data. Next time you go for an extended drive measure the MPG. 1 way with vents open and the other with them closed.
From my own experience, I saw a measurable increase when I had finally got the engine temps under control. Tools R Us also feels that there was some benefit here as well.
All that other stuff aside I'd prefer data showing the benefit as a final outcome and not individual changes.
Er, not sure I understand. Isn't there already data posted here showing 210F temps as reducing fuel consumption (IIRC 3.1gph at 180F vs 2.80gph at 210F) and engine wear? What then would be your definition of "under control"?
Final outcome? I did Part I-IV as individual changes in an attempt to do these mods in documented stages. All comparable to anyone elses data. The data you and others gather will either support my changes or not support them. When you refer to engine temps, do you mean radiator temps causing changes in engine temps?
What was the increase in mileage Rick? How do you explain that contradicting that fuel consumption decreases with higher engine temps than 180F?
