That's your belief? I think you mean you don't PREFER them. But they are effective. The tests of the various boat tail projects modeled on the angles and compound curves of the template that I posted and that you admitted you were not surprised would show a benefit demonstrate that one can use the template to effecctively modify road vehicles for greatly reduced drag. The Gen1 Insight projects of Botsapper and MetroMPG on this site reported 9 to 15% improvements in FE in testing. They proved its an effective approach.
