Ive also got the big old fashioned antenna sticking out of the front fender, on both cars. Sometimes in the shadow when you're at highway speeds the antenna whips around real fast, kinda like its vibrating in the air, so you know its catching a bit of air.

I just wonder how much mpg improvement you would get from deleting it, or if one of those stubby antennas would help.
