For those that are Curious
Before we got new tires for the Prius and Jen was driving on near bald/race slick style tires, she was getting 50+ mpg.
After the new mongo traction I'll feel good when she's driving in the rain and snow tires, she's getting around 48mpg.
With a kayak and wind deflector-less rack on top on a 6 hour trip to and from WV, we got around 36mpg.
With just a wind deflector-less rack on top going back to forth to work, Jen was getting around 43mpg.
With the wind deflector attached to the rack and going back and forth to work, Jen was getting around 47mpg.
Interesting. I've always wondered what kind of performance advantage those wind deflectors added and disadvantage a plan rack created. Maybe I should throw a wind deflector on mine and see if I can get above 23mpg in the Subaru?
Hell. Maybe I could throw one of those wind deflectors on the little ninja 250 and try to get above 46mpg, though that would probably first require me to get a thule rack on the ninja.
