    Snorkle intake backwards, better fuel economy....GU8

    OK so the past three weeks i have had to drive 400km intrastate and i figured i would do a little test.

    I figured i would see if turning the snorkel intake to point backwards made a difference and without a doubt, on the highway it has made a HUDGE difference.

    I did two trips with snorkel forward, diesel from the same stattion, similar day conditions, managed 12.65 average at about 120 kph

    Did two trips with snorkel backwards, diesel from same station as always, similar day conditions if not slightly cooler, managed 10.2 l/100 at about 120kph.

    All runs were done with cruise control on the same road, under pretty similar conditions.

    SO i have left the snorkel backwards around town, and i picked up about 100 kms out of both tanks.

    Anyone else found this?
