Ok. Then since it does have a full belly pan, you don't think that having the air dam closer to the ground would help anything? I thought that by having the car so high in the air, that increased drag as well? I thought that was one of the main things with an air dam.

Also, if I'm not doing the air dam, how would I go about getting air around the front tires more efficiently? I know I've heard of people using mud flaps in front of the tires to try and redirect airflow. Does that provide enough benefit you think?

I'm having a hard time figuring out what else I can do to get more mpg squeezed out of the Rav4.
