Another thing that improves MPG is a nice fresh WAX job.. This is why I wax Spring and fall.. Spring I do it here in the south, then drive 800 miles north, Fall, I do it in the north and drive 800 miles south.
The change in MPG is shocking..
The test. Drive at least 100 miles round trip
Wax
Make same trip again
At the start of the trip Gas up, full tank. Note Miles on the old meter
Before the start of the 2nd turn around... Same thing.. Do the math to get actual MPG
At the end of the 2nd Turn Around top off again, note miles and do the math
Prepare to be stunned.
