We Tried DIY Fuel Saving Mods

🟡 Thanks to CarVertical for sponsoring this video! Check your car with 10% discount bit.ly/3UgiFrL
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.

    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.

The trade-off was very much the extra time spent 😒

    12 gallon tank of cheap unleaded, with a cheap bottle fuel injection cleaner and a cheap bottle of octane booster (both under 1.50 each). without range displayed 330 miles (27.5 mpg), with 2 bottles of goop range shows 420 miles (35 mpg) driving light on the pedal. 90 extra miles for under 3 bucks works for me!

    Try using 4 space saver wheels . Or you could just buy a 2004 Renault Laguna estate 1.9dci , that's does 70mpg at 80mph just by rotating the egr 180 degrees and re-inserting and leaving it connected it still does not work . One of the best MPG cars in history considering its a large family car .
