Revisions I and J: Wheel covers and air dam

A little late updating this thread, but here's a link to my wheel cover test: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...yon-32761.html.

MPG results from the wheel covers:
Summer 2014: 38.2 MPG
Summer 2015: 38.5 MPG Had wheel covers this summer
Summer 2016: 38.6 MPG

The short version is that wheel covers did not make a measurable difference in MPG.

And also the new air dam: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...dam-34650.html.
