Looks like my average power had dropped by about 400 to 500 watts.
It would probably be more if I had mud flaps factory installed. Since mud flaps tend to be like little air scoops that don't allow the air to go any where. Just removing them gives you some improvement, turning them into stylish tires spats gives a little more improvement.
For example highway driving and using say 20kwh of power over the course of your drive a 500 watt reduction translates to 2 more miles of range.
