... it IS aero modded with one of those nose-bubbles on the cube above the cab. However, the things is so un-aero that in the rain there is NO movement of water along the hood and the rain hits the windshield and has no sideways movement at all, it just has a huge stale air pocket. That's why i drive so much under the limit...

I did a rough-estimate test and found that driving a trip at 110km/h used DOUBLE the gas that driving the same trip at 85-90km/h used.
