The A-B-A tests are best in warmer weather with calm wind. Wind tunnel tests are the best do to controlled conditions and refined calibration. Mileage records over time do create a real world average for that specific driver and that specific vehicle.

That said, you did one fine job of fabricating you aerocap. Very nice lines! I wish I had a full scale wind tunnel we could park your truck in with your aerocap on it and do some testing of it's performance toward cd reduction.


Keep up the good work.
