I would have said the batteries alone would be between $500-$1000 depending on the hybrid design. And that is after researching how much those batteries cost on the market and considering that you are buying them from a stealership. If you have them install the batteries then $3k sounds right, lol.
The reason aero mods are unpopular is the lack of respect in my mind. People see weight as something more important and that gets kicked to the curb to beat safety regulations. I don't believe that people realize that aero drag exceeds RR drag as low as 35mph in some cars, and even lower in trucks/suvs. And also considering how heavily style dictates the automotive design. People were disappointed that the Volt lost it's boxy concept style to be more aerodynamic since it ended up looking more like an everyday sedan than a muscle car. And if you want anymore reason look at the Camaro, it kept it's concept style and people still consider the MPG acceptable for what it is.
Big Auto spends billions on fuel efficiency, the only problem is that they start with bigger engines, brick cars, and detune them to meet fuel efficiency which only aggravates people further. But keep drinkin' the conspiracy kool-aid, man. It's not just that Big Oil is huge and owns everybody, people want Oil to be big.
