I will say this again there are 2 different types eco modders here the
drivers no offense who get every last inch of thier fuel eco possible.
and Eco modding drivers like myself who will sometimes be cought holding up traffic while attempting to test extreme gain of new mod. but roll normally at or just under a speed regular traffic. And pull 5-15% better than sticker empg.
We need both kinds, but Not every mod or Idea has similar effect when speed is increased. My dakota r/t lost mpg with air dam because it is running at and + speed of normal traffic. worked ok for my KIA.
I took it as "Dry" humour
