Your Micro-Mini skirts now look like some I saw on the front wheels in a photo of Aerohead's aero Honda CRX (he had full skirts on the rear). Even if you don't have a Scanguage have you been keeping a gas log? Over the long haul the gas log will tell the truth. I hope you can get us some data. I have been considering doing something similar myself.
