Wow. Notice that the largest gain in MPG was with the "aerodynamic aids". Looks like approx. 2mpg.
Sooooooooooo,  who's gonna break out the left over aluminum trim that you didn't need when you had your house sided last year and put up the results?
How about that 6" wing on the back? What would that translate into on a van? Where would it be mounted?
