We had a boxy 86 Corolla it gave 550 to 600 on a tank later on we had a 93 Corolla more streamlined it also gave 550 to 600 now I have a more curvy lancer that to spits the same 550 to 600 on a tank until it's rings wore out lately it's giving 350 to 450 on a tank so boxy or curvy it shouldn't matter more the 50 km per tank

But don't stop your theories are always good entertainment here on the forum

Never worry I will put up with my end here wherever it's needed 

It's still next to none

Just to let us know how far do you see a same powered car in your rear view mirror when you put on that aerodynamic kit...

Or how much the millage is impressive. does it run two tanks worth of millage as of a car without the aerodynamic kit...

More that that is wasted while waiting idle at traffic signals

Seriously, then why you drive modern engineering cars and why not bullock cart with rope and ox in front.

I had a Honda Accord come in to my shop which used to chew up the rear left tire in 3 months time took it to many places clean posh coverall wearing guys which didn't know shit  they couldn't even figure out what was with it then a rod and rope guy advised to change the hub and rods and after that he did the alignment and gave guarantee that if in 6 months the becomes bad he will pay for it but that tire was changed almost a year later....

Those machine things ONLY works if everything on the car is in company spec...

Most of the times there is something up that's they start to eat tires it could be lower or upper arm bush,ball joint excessive play rackend or tire end play, steering box bush shot, steering cross play  in some cases hub is bent or the subframe is bent there are many possibilities or combination of it that leads to alignment messed...

More symptoms of Ajmanitus! Lol

Dude you come up with some serious crock pot quack scientific theories!

Buddy I say what I see and to put weight on it I've got good credentials not just sarcastic typing...

look for any good Japanese car then you wont have to spend 250 per spark plug for fiat which is not available anywhere except al ghandi or a 1200 dhs rear bumper of mini

ps : get him or her a tercel or echo you wont be sorry

But it does help improve aerodynamics.

not if you driving 60 or 80 even at 140 its next to none

aerodynamics works at very high speeds which formula cars attain...

toss in a aerodynamic kit and race with a same power car you will know its just for show

Nissans have made notoriously shit engines especially those big 400 engines their vti sensors fookup then their high pressure mechanical pump also makes such problem and rarely the bcm and pcm also makes such problems best way is to hook up and view live data you might stumble upon the culprit its such a shame that it has so much power yet very fragile we fixed quite many...

Nothing beats the manual rod and rope alignment but sometimes it takes quite a few trys to get it right...

Here you are not bound to schools one day teacher from one will teach per hour and next day you can take teacher from another school only trouble is the tests they are really much luck based have seen many just giving test and yet fail time and again...

Some got so fed up that just left driving itself...

Get it aligned they can spot if you have some other issue or only alignment will fix it...

Try that in Ajman then you will know

there is a way around if you can produce a tenancy contract from ajman then you can get your driving licence from ajman but remember one thing they are pretty strict and once they pass you you sure will be a driver from start go... 

it always happens wherever there is an accident then you will see the traffic crawling to a halt...its better to glance if help is needed or just carry on instead putting everyone behind you in pain...

But having said that what A.holes man! How can you almost crush someones cars and then run away like a coward without even having the decency at the very least leave your number. 

if they stand there and wait they have to cough up accident fees on top of fixing their car which is lately higher then getting your bumper sorted and repainted...

I don't know @shadow79 who is teaching you these basics or you are coming up with these crazy stories....!

nobody is teaching me i gave him an explanation based on my own ride which first had the oem shocks which were soft comfy but didn't travel the extra length which i changed later on for stiff ones which gave it height but killed the comfort

This is what happens when you spend all your time in Ajman

almost half of dubai lives in ajman sharjah and uaq i dont think there is something wrong in it...

maybe this time tata was at the brainstorming of the cars look....

if you have stiff suspension in desert conditions its usually a pain to drive through SOUPS AKA cross tracks and tracks which someone has already passed through as your cars response will be bumpy and will loose traction and momentum which is important part in this sports but with enough experience you can always find a way

in the softer setting the kit should consist of more parts which should support the over lengthening of the shocks in turn giving you a much smoother ride like in the old caprice you could see the body of the car stay put at one place but those tires getting in and out of the body while you crazily cruise through those humps  

if his visa was from ajman here its bit cheaper then all inclusive 7.5k other schools have other rates...but prior experience is must to glide through the tests..

in ajman and sharjah if faulty party runs then you have to pay accident drawing fee 500 usually what we do is get if fixed and get on with life its cheaper and your case being a rental its better to just show it to rental shop they will rip your meat from your bones and then give you another car for the remainder of the days you have lease left...never think that you can quietly fix their car and return it and they will not know about it as most of the times they keep your passport so in the end you will be stuck and bleed more money into it...

100 Points awarded to @Derick for "Exceptional Post".

unless he gets it scanned doing anything blindfolded is not gonna help 

its just bringing beggar to a feast and tying his hands and asking him to help himself to eat

your average joe usually does not have access to advanced diagnostic machinery and tools to open up things in car let alone to check if that particular thing is working or not...most of them cant differentiate a map sensor from a maf sensor let alone if its equipped or not or in many cases most even don't know how many cylinders they running 

many times many things point toward a particular problem so we can point it but most of the time its just a empty void unless you pulling some codes or viewing live sensor feeds and then start working on a path which leads to the problem being sorted

throw in one point at a time so all have chance to contribute and also point towards something which others have missed...

Apart from electrical faults and abs faults they are mean lasting machines they will never disappoint but will take you back home Everytime...

This could have been well avoided if the had real-time communication

For some reason Ajman people like to stick to Ajman

10 or 15 minutes max is my commute tell me why I shouldn't stick around Ajman then...

Born and brought up here I can still count on the fingers of hand and feet together how many times I went there
