Hey all:

Am a new member and in need to try to improve the gas mileage on my 2004 Grand Cherokee (I know, sell it and buy a honda- not an option).

I have a Thule Rack and got a free Fairing (#555) for it. Right now, I get 15.1 MPG, will post what I get with the fairing, hoping to help it, at least a bit. Also planning on installing a lightweight skid plate like another member did on their cherokee, will post those results as well.

Question for you all is if anyone out there has a #555 fairing, could you measure your struts, please? Thule does not sell them anylonger, and anyway, I want to try to make them.

If you check out "I" on this image, that's the strut.

Thanks all, and looking forward to posting better mileage through aero-tinkering!
