Funny - neither of us really seems to get much interest in our caps while out and about. But it was kind of interesting to see a few people react when we were parked next to each other and running up and down the freeway together.

Anyway - we decided to do a little tuft testing to make Darin happy

We went up and down the highway about 3 miles - the first video is much better than the 2nd.
I could be wrong, but I suspect the gap between the cab and the sloped cover is causing some airflow ruckus. Did you consider filling the gap with some foam and trying some ABA runs?
I think your second test sounds good. I am still surprised you are only seeing a 7% improvement. I had anticipated more than that. I think am getting 10% from my belly panel install based on some extended road trip data, but am waiting for my MPGuino to show up so I can confirm this.
