Hi Everyone,
I have a built out 1994 F350 type 1 ambulance with a 7.3 IDI and my best mpg is just north of 13. I keep looking at that big flat surface of the body above the cab and wonder how much fuel I can save by changing the aerodynamics. I spent a bit of time digging around on the internet and here but thought I would ask if anyone here knows of a good site to calculate the drag I am experiencing at a given mph (or m/s) and convert to joules/m2 of horizontal surface area. I assume the benefit gained would be that energy multiplied by the sine of the angle I create for the fairing. Any help? Thanks
