A quick way to estimate your car's mpg aeromodding potential is to go out with a friend and close draft their car at various speeds while noting your mileage, as this will be the mileage that your car's engine-transmission-tire combo will be getting when you reduce the aero load on your car. Then you can decide whether the mileage improvement you can potentially get is worth the effort of doing the aeromods.
