Aerohead has gotten 30+mpg highway with his gas Toyota T100.

The roof of some aerocaps pop up for extra space underneath. Theres another thread where someone is going to use a roll up toneau cover to make the roof of the aerocap and have the sides solid.

I cant use a sloping aerocap because i need the storage space of a flat top cap most of the time. I do however plan on adding a sloped inflating boatail to the back end which will inflate and extend at highways speeds but roll up at low speeds so the vehicle isnt too long to park. It a mythical creature much talked about but rarely made here lol.

Some people use solid hubcap covers on the wheels. The rear wheel opening can be covered since those wheels dont turn to the sides. The gap around the front wheels can be partially filled if their bigger than neccesary as they often are on trucks. A few people here use front wheel skirts that articulate out when turning.
