55mph. Mostly a guess, but 85% wake reduction's gotta count for something.

Is there a formula for drag reduction as a function of wake reduction? From that I could roughly estimate aero improvement and MPG improvement at 55.

It also matters how I drive. Steady at 60-65mph gets 35-38mpg. P&G, EOC and slipstreaming gets 41-45mpg.

I do value your opinion though, Darin. You've done this and so many other mods before, with testing. Seeing the structure, what do you think it'll get?
