I have no idea what these new "monoblades" you are talking about are.

I can show you what I'm talking about. Then you can decide if you wish to talk about it, or educate me with photos and examples of other technologies out there.

I think the lack of a gap makes these winter blades more aero, but it would take a great leap of faith to claim they will increase MPG. So I'm not even going to look for, or document any possible gains.
