I was wondering if people could post pictures of their clarity with different OEM/non-OEM accessories installed. This would be great to give owners an idea of how something would look on their car and ultimately help them decide if they wanted to go through with it. I was curious how the OEM spoiler looked on it and mud flaps for one.
Here are the accessory wheels. I'd have the spoiler if it saved 1 mpg. I assume the mud flaps are a minus mpg accessory.
Did you find the wheels affect your MPG in any way? I would think the stock ones are a little more efficient.
If the stock wheels weren't the same on the left and right, I might believe the design had some aerodynamic value. Because the same wheels are mounted on each side of the car, I assume any benefit the spoke design might offer on one side would be canceled out on the other side. I'm hoping that Honda wouldn't make accessory wheels for the Clarity that make the car less efficient. Anyway, after meticulously documenting the fuel efficiency of three Insights over the last 19 years, I've decided the EV capabilities of our Clarity are so wonderful that I'm just going to try to stay in that mode as much as possible. Our EVSE doesn't track power used, so I'm free to stop worrying about efficiency. No more log books to keep!
