We Got Our Tailgates Down
| Challenge: | Energy | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Carlton Trail | | City: | Strasbourg, SK | | School: | William Derby | | Abstract: | Have you ever wondered if you are wasting money on fuel by driving with your tailgate up? In our experiment, we drove four different trucks with the tailgates up recording the distance travelled and fuel used. Then we repeated the same experiment with the tailgates down. We found out that driving with your tailgate up improved your fuel efficiency by 7% compared to tailgate down. |
