hail damage aero advantage

Prove me wrong, but if I touch the highway I can see 50 mpg easily.

Brings up the question if aero blocking panels should be flat or concave golf ball style.

I know mythbusters did an episode where they dimpled a Taurus and saw a hefty gain in aero effecienCy

My hood roof and trunk are covered in pea size hail damage.

Comparing my logs to other cars that is the only advantage I can think of and how I can average 39mpg on a bad tank in the city
