nearly everywhere I drive has a speed limit of 40 or higher, and there is a stretch of about 5 miles to town over 50, so I'd say aero mods would make a big difference. I'd chock this discussion to more info needed for a couple weeks til I can get a tankful of miles behind me. Tends to take a while with a 20 gallon tank though.
