I've watched the scan gauge and it shaved 2miles off the warm up time so it's doing something... But I have no clue as to MPG testing. Any Ideas?
At 55-mph,the delta-mpg/delta-CdA relationship is 1-to-2.Your mpg gain indicates a drag reduction of 2.657,and since you didn't change the frontal area,it's all coming off the Cd.
