Your side mirrors will become more important to you. Then again, they should already be important to you.

Few know how to use mirrors, it seems. Any discussion of traveling legally at slower than the upper limit seems to try to dodge the use of mirrors in a new, expanded way by rationalization [denial] versus skill acquisition. Here, RV boards, and other vehicle enthusiast boards, all too many are adamant about fearing the loss of sheeple coloration.

To the point: consider the OEM towing mirrors. The "loss" of mpg may be next to nothing, especially compared to the gains of the aerolid. A win all around (as trucks are expected to be loaded or towing as central to their function).
