Default Re: Do You Get Better Fuel Economy Just After a Rain?

Got to be careful wording polling questions - meant just after a good rain and the roads are relatively dry and the temperature is between 50F and 80F.

My experience is my FE seems to get a little better in those situations.

During World War II, bombers used water injection to increase range. For years, water injection was used as an after market enhancement when most cars used carburators. Even though most vehicles use fuel injectors, my after a rain experience makes it seem like water injection could still be useful. Realize I don't have proof.
