And ranged in results from 1.65% through 11.83%. That is representative of the spread we're seeing so far.
If that's representative of the spread you're seeing, that observed spread simply isn't representative at all.

A gazillion of factors influence fuel consumption.
Singling out one, is pretty hard to do.


Generally, half the % of drag reduction achieved, is fairly close to the % reduction in fuel consumption.

There's simply no way those gaspods are reducing aerodynamic drag by 20+ % ...
