its got to be way too heavy.the only way to pull it off would be woven fiberglass,carbon fiber and foam.i still woulden't want to be seen in it though.

Coroplast is a popular choice for these mods.

I've seen my Ranger top 105mpg coasting down a hill on my commute at 60mph. Of course, I'm losing speed do to the brick-like aerodynamics.

Right, 100+ mpg going down a big hill is possible, for the few minutes that your not touching the gas pedal and using gravity as a 'propellant' and not your fuel, but 90 mpg for an average-Impossible.(In that gaggleclusterf**k of a honda anyway, ask me about my golfcart, and we'll compare numbers )

I enjoy the fact that while he's saving so much money on gas with this car, the backdrop of a few pictures is the epitome of fuel efficiency..a motorhome that gets what, 8mpg tops? :lol:

guys underneath his avatar he is advertising 67.4 mpg, that was 90 mph going downhill.......and if you actually read into it you would have read that he has since redone it in aluminum sheet, this was only preliminary.....

I dont care if that ugly piece of Sh*t got a 1,000,000 mpg I still wouldn't want it or would you catch me driving it.............................................;(

What happens if you get a flat tire?

Some of those hypermilers remove the spare to save weight. Don't have worry about getting a flat off in that case.

My DD is now a 2000 Trailhead Ranger with the 3.0 and an automatic. In mixed driving, I'm averaging a little over 22mpg. That's only over 3 months. It will climb with warmer weather. Before I had to sell it, I was getting 58 to 62 with the Prius.

That was with no real effort on my part. The Ranger takes a little more work for fuel economy, but I'm putting in a fraction of the effort the people on that site are. It's more than aero mods. It's tuning engines, and swapping transmissions and diffs. That civic has a hand throttle for the finer control. Most importantly, it's learning to drive for economy.

Their claims seem unbelievable, but so does doubling the power out of a Ford Vulcan to those who don't know the effort that went into it.

I'm really curious about one thing, in what state is it legal to drive that?

Well, it has South Carolina plates.

Not that that means it's actually legal.....

And I wonder where he found an insurance company that will touch that with a 10 foot pole. Or maybe he's uninsured. Or committed fraud.

JeHEEZus, he's spending 2-3 MPG on LIGHTS! Should we remind him that his complete lighting system draws well under 1HP?
