I wasn't going there, just the intake, at a spot that is already low pressure so little aerodynamic penalty.

I think it would be far quicker and more affordable to just hang a vacuum hose off my rear bumper and see what my mpguino says about mpg at a given speed with/without vacuum You could read thousands of papers for much time and money and still come to the wrong conclusion. I just wondered if anyone had done such an experiment under fairly controlled conditions.
