Wow, I'm bored... trolling the gas saving forum

I’m going to try to get everyone to get rid of their rear wings and their stupid “votrex generators”

@LoudAccord

They actually won’t do anything for your miles per gallon. You will spend more on these “generators” than what you will save in gas. They are only used to direct air towards a spoiler to create more downforce…

since I see a spoiler, you’re going to generate more drag leading to worse miles per gallon. Here is the demonstration on how the generator was come about for the EVO and the window spoiler on the 06/07 STI:

As you can see, the rear window spoiler works better in getting the air where it needs to be. It is also measured by downforce seen here:

The EVO has 46.86LBS of front end lift and 9.68LBS of rear end lift at 90MPH, at 124 MPH it has 90.42LBS of front end lift and 18.7LBS fo rear end lift.

The STI has 57.64LBS of front end lift and 38.06LBS of rear end downforce at 90MPH, at 124MPH it has 111.1LBS of front end lift and 73.26LBS of downforce

So the answer is to actually get rid of your generator and your wing if you’re trying to get better miles per gallon.
