That car is actually set up to minimize drag. The modifications are similar to those on the solar powered cars. I wouldn't doubt that this guy is a hyper-miler or whatever they call the guys that go for extreme gas mileage. The tires are probably overinflated as well. Weird looking but I think its kinda cool to try and maximize gas mileage.

Saw one on I-285 the other day.

That guy is a Jim Ellis employee. I see that thing at Jim Ellis Chevrolet all the damn time.

[veersixin]

I bet he has nitrogen in his tires to maximize mileage.

Are you sure, looks like just a prius with an ugly azz body kit and some smoked lights. I mean really if you got a prius how could you not be satisfied with your gas mileage already.

there is always room for improvement with fuel economy. go check out some hypermiling websites. people go huge lengths for some ridiculously efficient vehicles. the cover over the rear wheels and disc hub caps on the front are common. Lots of people will chop tops, build boat tails, completely seal the front grill, underbody panels, etc. just to eek out a few more mpg's. Having a car that gets 50mpg is great, but why not get 60mpg? or 70? or 80?

^ well like i said the guy that was driving it looked like he just did it for the looks^

Same car buddy.. Only one for MANY MANY Miles.. more like until you reach the coast line on the other side of the USA

[tf4624]

Wiper .. yeah might need to see behind him.

antenna- to small to creat enough drag to screw up MPG.

no need for mirriors when you have cameras

[tf4624]

[FoolsDrifFWD]

That civic gets 95mpg.... pretty amazing really.

I've seen this guy at Jim Ellis Volkswagen. Looks like he's "upgraded" since I took this picture. That rear bumper treatment actually looks pretty good.

I think it's pretty clever, what he's doing. For those wondering about the wing mirrors; he's got convex mirrors mounted on the inside and I think he has one of those really big wide-angle rear-view mirrors.

if it works for him go for it... but ima still laugh
