2010 MS3
pluses:
- drove between 100 and 105, sometimes 110
- cruise off, fan off, radio on
- no sudden accel or boost
- SRI possibly improves air intake efficiency
- did not drive behind anyone for much of the trip so slipstreaming is not a factor
minuses:
- winter gas
- minus 11 C
- winter tires
- RA mudflaps create drag
- driving soooo slowly
Interesting experiment but hardly scientific. Still pleased with the result.
