Cant say how much it helped, but I nearly got 38 MPG with my mirrors in and the antenna off!
thats a good data point. any comment on this change Vs. your normal mpg? also 38 MPG is quite a bit, is that EVIC or milage corrected fill-to-fill data.
i just finished my second tank on "mirrors out" for the same fuel station/ weather, fill-to-fill milage corrected 30.8 and 29.8 MPG. will post results either way.
regardless, who would expect ~30MPG for a 5600lb 4x4 SUV. Chrysler may be in the sh*tcan now, but they did something right with the liberty CRD, that’s for darn sure....I’m glad I bought one new off the lot while I could, in the age of pre-electrification. which is to say my next car is a DETROIT-made, electric FORD festiva in 2011. Ford is the only brand worth buying anymore IMO.
FYI with mirrors in I posted a milage correct 28.49 MPG, so if nothing else that shows that other factor are more important than frontal area. there it is.
