Aerodynamic our vans?

[Lan0520]

Any idea?
This can cut at 3-5% on our FC.
Lalo na kung lagi tayo nadaan sa mga expressway.
Or above 60kph perhaps...

LOL. You're just going to waste money in the process. Best thing to do to save fuel are the ff:

1. Loose useless crap inside your van that contributes to the total load of the car.
2. Shift as early as possible, but not to the point that your engine will vibrate.
3. Leave your home early to avoid traffic.
4. Avoid jack-rabbit starts.
5. Put A/C to lowest level. Or yet, don't use it. But don't open the windows too if you do this. Kasi more drag.
6. Of course, avoid driving fast. Max on highway is 70-80kph on highest gear

... and the thing about this is, everything is actually FREE. You just need some determination and of course patience kasi nga mabagal takbo mo ...

Aero-mods are very incremental. To see such a big difference, you'll have to do a lot of things. Flat undertray, air-directing vanes in front of the wheel wells, a properly designed rear spoiler to direct air away from the turbulence zone behind the rear glass...

Or... you could simply stick to a strict 60-80 km/h speed limit and save yourself a ton of fuel without spending any money.

Passenger vans are pretty much as aero-efficient as you can get.

Delivery or cargo vans can benefit from simple aero-aids like wind deflectors over the cab to deflect air around the cargo van's rear.

Put a huge spoiler in the back and add kits. :rofl:

70-80 kph speed more frugal? funny, cause my FC is better when i'm doing mostly 120-140kph.

this aerodynamic sh!t for van is the result of watching too much pimp my ride shows.

What car? Nothing is more efficient at 120 than at 70-80, as long as you're not lugging the engine in top gear at 80.

Even a 6-liter V8 Corvette can hit in excess of 16 km/l if you drive it at a steady 80 km/h. My best record in the Crosswind is about 16 km/l+ on the SLEX at a cruise-controlled 70 km/h. (done with the idle adjust) Lynx is also around 16 km/l, 80-100 km/h on the NLEX. At a stead 120 km/h, that's down to 12 km/l. At 140, 10 km/l. (Yeah, I drove a lot up north back then)

30km/l na yan. :hysterical:
