My Kia is long gone. I no longer do the long driving route. I test our Ford Focus when possible, with various materials, shapes, angles and placements. ***You who thrive in this ecomodder atmosphere could be a lot of help!***
A friend who is a metalwork craftsman is helping manufacture the blade. It is aluminum and mounts off the front license plate (at least on the Rio, Focus, Prius and other models we are testing). We call it the GasBlade.
Would love to hear what you think. Could see about making my units accessible (with permission already from the administrator here at ecomodder). Am trying to add pics (as attachments... hope it works). Pics and video clips are accessible at a crowdfunding site if you would like to view the gallery there (again, this is with permission from admin). GasBladePatent | Indiegogo

Perhaps you finally released the parking brake,as your mileage improvement is not attributable to the 'GasBlade'.
