Please explain

And I’ve noticed aero mods still work better at moderate speeds versus high speeds. Everyone says aero mods help at higher speeds because of the load, but they don’t

Say your mod gives a 5 percent improvement in gas mileage

When going 65 mph and getting 70 mpg, that adds an extra 3.5 mpg

When going 85 mph on interstate and getting 40 mpg, it only adds 2 extra mpg

The aero mods compound even more range increases when going at slower highway speeds versus higher highway speeds

A boat tail can make a huge difference at 55 mph like most modders here have shown. But a boat tail full size only would give you a few little mpg points when going 85-90 mph on desert interstates in Idaho and Utah and Montana. So what’s even the point of aero mods for extremely fast driving? They essentially don’t work at high speeds
