Covers dont seem to work on the id3 oem alu wheels. I have tested now them 2 times and they were worse on each test. ...
Seems perfectly plausible to me. Thanks. We're at best thoughtful hobbyists churning familiar waters, and we don't get to have the materials for laboratory precision. Nonetheless, we can get a good sense of what works and what does not most of the time for our vehicle's specific configuration. Five runs and averages from a display, with other factors controlled as I know you do, is good enough for me. Did you consider combinations of mods, such as tire spats and the covers? Since we know they interact on some cars, and A-B-C test could have been tried. Also longer test loops.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
