Tuft test on Civic Wagon front wheel well

MetroMPG's testing on both the Insight and Firefly got me curious about my car.

So I got some string and tape and went for a drive. Sorry about the quality of the pics, I was holding the camera out the window while driving.



Looks pretty good to me! I was going to add more tufts, but got impatient and went for a drive. When I stuck my head out the window, I saw that the tufts were fluttering a little, but hugging the body. I was going probably 35-40 MPH. I see that the air is still getting under the car even with the side skirts.

I later added a tuft in the center of the wheel cover and it acted the same as the ones behind the wheel.
