Hey /o/

Sort of 2 topics in 1 here:

Subtle alterations you can make to a car (DIY or Mod) to improve MPG. I've been looking into cold air intakes and newer(lighter) wheels for my daily (currently on run-flats). I already keep mine clean/empty to remove excess weight, and I don't want to remove seats/gut.

Do cold air intakes actually make a difference in MPG? Or do people just do it for the cool intake noise?

Is it worth swapping to NFR for the weight reduction and cost without carrying a spare tire? Or just dumb?

What else can you do to lighten a daily driver?

Pic not related.

For a VW TDI it's easy.
Tune, EGR delete, bigger exhaust
Instant +10MPG

depends on the type of car but in general: no if you want performance you need the supporting mods like exhaust and chip.before you will see a performance benefit, but not for MPG.

just dumb. always better to carry a full size spare than a space saver. emergency services use full size spares for that reason

only way to make your car good for MPG is keep it serviced including checking tyre pressures when cold. and adjust driving style like shifting early, changing down before the hills etc.

if you want better MPGs buy a smaller car

OK bear with me this is either retarded or brilliant and I'm to stoned to tell right now.

So, on a racecar people try to create down force with spoilers and wings and front aero and shit right, to make the car artificially weigh more and stick down to the road.

Why couldn't I turn the wings and shit upside down to create up force to make the car artificially weigh less? Say you were on the interstate at 75mph getting 400lbs of upforce, that would make it less weight for the engine to push, and require less force, right?

Oh wait, that sounds stupid as I read it back to myself.

It's illegal.
You'll fly away into restricted airspace

those dodge trucks with spoilers claim to reduce your weight by several hundred pounds at 60 mph
