Obviously, the slower you drive, the less effect the aerodynamic mods will have. They really come into play at around 40 mph - though any cyclist will know there's a huge difference between 15mph and 20mph

An air dam is another easy mod, and rather effective on trucks.

I can't use smooth wheel covers because the truck has alloy wheels ( and besides I need the brake cooling)
Brake cooling isn't really an issue.
If you're ecodriving, you should already be using them sparingly anyway.
