Hi theothersean, welcome on-board.

Never reached 150 km/h, but I did feel a difference with the rear wheel skirts on our megane. I usually drive at 70-80 km/h (44-50 mph). May be is it only my wishes, but I feel that with wipers removed and passenger mirror folded the car coasts a little more. With lengthy coast in neutral with engine on, better aerodynamic will help.
On our scenic a simple wiper cover did a measurable difference : 2 km/h at the bottom of a small hill.
Upper front grill block do works (be careful in city), as pumping tires at max sidewall.
Have fun,
Denis.
