No doubt. I have a lot of respect for the people who go out and do the coast down testing. And yet, it seems as though all the that shade tree aerodynamicists (sp??) congregate here have managed to produce god results.

With the wheel skirts, I would have expected a larger impact. It makes me think twice about piling effort into making mine. 1% if fairly small. I guess every little bit counts.
