- Update -

I haven't been on here in a while, had some personal emergencies come up, and moved, blah blah blah...

I hate to say it, but in my earlier testing I think my foot was still a little biased and the track was too short. I did drive with it on for a couple of longer trips (80 miles each way) and now I think the mileage increase is more around the 2%, rather than %8 or so.

Even worse, is somehow it got hit while my car was parked back in October and subsequentially tossed (although I did take it to get recycled as it's all plastic) as it was beyond repair. While I didn't get my money's worth in the investment, it was nice to build such a concept piece and try it out. I might make another in the future now that I've learned some lessons and from my early mistakes. I think I'm going to stick to cleaning up my undercarriage first before I go and mod the rear end (again).
