Aero Mods on TV (tractor trailers -- video posted)

Hey All,

Was flipping through the TV channels the other day and ran across a show called "performance TV". I was on the Velocity channel and the episode was all about big rig areo! There is company producing wheel covers that are said to gain 2.5% (I think) in MPG, trailer side skirts, vortex generators and a wing for a ridge on the top of the trailer.

I thought it was pretty awesome that MPG was on TV even it was not a car.

Link to shows website, apparently the episode I was #1407 Masters Entertainment Group - Performance TV

It was pretty low budget but the wheel cover design looked very interesting. Because the cover mounted to the rim but has a clear, removable, window for inspecting hubs and removing the wheel...
