I knew about those down-wash things being drag makers.. I will not be buying into one of those.

After reading here for more than a few hours, I'm starting to see the limitations of the CRV's shape. No easy fix..
For now, I'm going to try the small improvements and see if I can hit my 35MPG (highway) goal without going to a boat-tail project.

Thanks,
Rich
