So I went out to walmart and bought 16" pizza pans and bolted them to some wheel covers I got from Autozone (for free because one was cracked!)

Decided to do proper ABA testing to se what kind of improvement they would yeild. I'm very pleased with the results!

My test "track" was a section of I-64 east of Richmond in the middle of the day with little traffic. IAT was between 92 and 98 degrees for the entire test which took place from 1:30p at the start to 2:45p finish. Windows were up and the A/C and radio off for consistency.

Each run was a segment 2mi up, turned around and test for a segment of the same 2mi on the return. Mile markers 198-200 and then 200-198.

Results at 70mph: (side note: I NEVER go 70mph in my car, but thought that a higher rate of speed would show the aerodynamic effect more significantly)

(Without)
A1- 36.0/40.8=38.40mpg avg
A2- 36.5/40.2=38.35mpg avg
A3- 38.5/39.7=39.10mpg avg
Total AVG= 38.62mpg

(With)
B1- 39.0/41.8=40.40mpg avg
B2- 38.5/41.6=40.05mpg avg
B3- 38.8/43.9=41.35mpg avg
Total AVG= 40.60mpg

(Without)
A1- 36.6/40.6=38.6mpg avg
A2- 37.6/40.4=39.0mpg avg
Total AVG= 38.8mpg

I'm using the higher of the A runs (38.8mpg) to figure against the AVG of the B runs to get the final result of a 4.43% increase in FE...

Not bad for a $20 modification.
