Re: [diesel_mercedes] Improved fuel economy

 

That procedure really works great! I used it to get my 2CV up to 65MPH on the Long Island Expressway on one of the few days that you could actually go 65 MPH.  The DOT bar on the trailers is helpful because with out that in place I would end up under the tractor in heavy braking situations.

I know - I was 10 miles east of Serra Blanca, Texas when all the trucks disappeared. It was only me and the Highway Patrolman with his radar gun. Like Monopoly, it was "go to jail" and pay your fine, son.
