I appreciate the experiment, but simply noting changes in MPG is about the least credible way to prove causation.

I'm very suspicious of the conclusion because increasing drag doesn't have any explanation for how that improves MPG.

What speed do you drive on the freeway? Do you do a lot of stop and go driving?
