Some of them don't understand why. Some can figure it out why but not how Dark Aero makes the turns. Some will stop and ask and then the light bulb comes on!
The younger kids don't like how I "dress" up my rig. Most of the older folks see as my "style" and seem happy that I have some sucesses.
I did have one person in Kemah tell me point blank that it's impossible fer me to git better gas mileage towing a trailer...even after he walked around the rig and asked me fer my MPG numbers. I was set to put down some serious money but I could tell it would've been a dead end. Even with my numbers, he didn't want to believe it. He said that the added weight/mass/rolling resistance that any reduced drag would be negated because of the extra weight/mass/rolling resistance. He just didn't want to know and couldn't break his trailer paradigm. Maybe I should've given him a pair of nickels.
Yesterday, I had someone ask me about my truck (Dark Aero wasn't attached) and he told me his Chevy/GMC with a V8 auto got 28mpg on the highway. Granted...I didn't ask him at what speed. I guess if I run into him again, I'll have to snap some piccies of his truck and post it in the Chevy/GMC forum as the best ever MPG king. I would take him on a bet to fill up to the same amount of gas and go fer a ride and see who runs out of gas first.
