Surprised at the relatively low coefficient of drag for such a boxy vehicle.

Are they okay with you modifying the vehicle?
Second Fit is my brother's. He's staying with me until he gets on his feet, just moved up to Vermont for a job. Job market is booming here and the pay is good, took him 2 days to land something here whereas he'd been looking for 3 years in Florida with the same resume.

Modifications will need to be subtle and inexpensive, but mostly I want to just keep track of fuel economy. Tire pressure is free and not going to bother anyone. Something like a wind deflector for the ladders or moving one of them inside the van are the sorts of things I'm considering, but I'm open to suggestions.
