something truly obnoxious, like wheel openings, are worth covering for some people.
I bet covering the wheels, perfectly, is worth less then 5 percent reduction in overall drag for most cars. This adds up to less then 2 percent mileage.
If you are getting 49 mpg, and your time is worth 10 cents an hour, and you REALLY WANT 50 mpg, then it might be worth it for you.
Learning to drive is MUCH more important then all the aero changes made to any existing vehicle.
and everything in front of the front doors of the vehicle, other then wheel openings, is not measurable.
