Honestly, there is a lot of misinformation discussed here (and of course some excellent information as well). I sometimes think that people don't even stop to think for a moment before accepting advice / statements that have been made. Then they apparently become gospel - weird.

You may want to avoid The Lounge.
There've be a few times that other posters confirm my suspicions. One was when HHOTDI moved the folding tent from the top of his New Beetle to a hitch mount and the drag was lower than no tent at all.

FreeBeard was right...what would we do if the MPG goes up!?!?
Thanks FreeBeard! I just returned home from a 770 mile round trip to Portland, lake Oswego and home! I returned home late last night and checked the hard mileage and found 770 miles, 15.6 gallons netted 49.3MPG! So as Freebeard suggested, what will we do if the mileage goes up?!?
Beetle w/o any attachments/slick top= ave 48mpg :{)
Beetle with factory VW Roof racks and CVT tent= 38mpg :/
Beetle with new areo-hitch mounted rack/CVT tent= 49.3MPG WhoooRah!
That is a gain of 11.3 mpg boys and girls!

tinypic.com ate the pictures. Another one was when someone CFD'd this and got some improvement over a flat transom.
It uses longitudinal rolling vortexes just like the Cybertruck.
