Anybody have an opinion on whether or not a rear spoiler like this would help with aero and FE?



They're on EBAY right now for like $152. I would just make my own. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-CHEROK...%257Ciid%253A1

I found another ecomodder who claims that a front skid plate (he calles it the aero-skid, I like that) moved his 6.5-inch-lifted (that's a lot!) Jeep Cherokee XJ from 15.8 mpg to 22+ mpg at 65 mph ...
