I've also noticed the ripple effect on my co-workers. In the lunch room now there are discussions( not started by me) about fuel economy of vehicles and the desire to get better mileage. No questions about ride-alongs yet, but there might be in the future. I do know that there are a couple guys that are looking for caps for there pickups and if they had access to aero caps that looked "factory", with windows, and assist lift rods, might actually think about considering buying them. Step in the right direction for a bunch of hardcore, redneck, don't-f**k-with-my-truck types( like I used to be).
