The premise for the product would be that it transitions the boundary-layer from laminar to turbulent,moving the separation point rearward on the vehicle.--------------

Since the boundary-layer is already turbulent on every car on Earth,the product cannot satisfy it's claims.It solves a problem that automobiles don't have.---------------

The 18-20% mpg improvement would require a 40% drag reduction.It's impossible!
