Let us know if the cap helps fuel economy. I don't particualrly trust that mythbusters air bubble thing.

Did you ever figure out what gains you got from the air dam?

I just installed a salvaged Bronco II rear swaybar and replaced the knobby tires with 215/75/15 Michelin Radial X.
Not sure about gains, the cover and air dam would really be effective at higher speeds. Im doing mostly city driving to and from work, about 40mph max. I will find out this fall when school starts or if I buy a scangauge..
