I got my racing disks. They only fit on the rear wheels. It think it should make a noticeable improvement because the old hubcaps are like huge bowls. There is a large open area in the back wheels. I also had 5 airtabs in the garage so I threw those on the roof. I can fit a few more up there so I will order some more.

I had to go and install some solar panels 80 miles away so I took the oppourtunity to test my MPG. I filled up and drove 168 miles round trip and filled up again. I used 31 litres. It was all highway and I kept it just under 60 mph. For that trip I averaged 11.48 L/100 Km or 20.49 MPG. Not bad for a 1 ton truck.

My last improvement is the wheel skirts. I ordered them last week.
