Read over the list of mods they did. This one claims 100 mpg. Sounds like bull. Wonder how they did the rear wheel cover with no visible bolts
I thought front splitters increase downforce and performance but increase drag? Wonder why they put it there
The side skirts that lead to the rear wheel kind of look cool, but are they practical? Would there be any benefits for adding some?

1) They provide no actionable information.
2) No test methodology.
3) Anecdotal.

GM's 1992 Ultralite was reported at 100-mpg,@ a constant 50-mph.
They provided Cd, frontal area, and curb weight. If you calculate for 'real' highway speeds, 100-mpg goes away very fast.

I don't see any meaningful drag reduction/ mpg capability for the Bismoto package.

4) Rear skirts are a definite 'YES', especially if you're going to extend the tail.
You must have as much separation-free flow, for the entire length of the car as you can get.
