Hi y'all,

I pulled all the AirTabs off my xA, and the drive to work confirmed that they were slightly detrimental to the aerodynamics. It now coasts better, and it raised the average MPG by 0.7 in just 45 miles -- I had burned almost half a tank. I'll see how high I can get.

I'm better off without the AirTabs, that's for sure.
