This was the "see if it falls off" test. It is very tight and will not fall off the car.

The tail is still pretty rough from an aero point of view. The "teeth" of the zip ties are all on the outside because I built it on the car and had no access to the inside. I can cut a few off at a time and replace them with the box of the zip tie on the inside.

There is some parachuting going on, the sides are not flush. I will have to put some filler in and fair it out somehow. I will also add tape to the edges and seams to try to smooth it out.

I think it still seems a little large but I'm not going to hack it apart again.

It takes about 10 minutes or less to install or remove, no fasteners other than binder clamps hold it on.

It seems to give me a few miles per gallon advantage as is.

Aggressive 30mph-50mph EOC gave 53.8 mpg. Thats pretty good, I don't think I ever got above 52mpg before.

Over a 7 mile course, I averaged 34.2mpg at 70mph, and 39.7mpg at 50mph. Thats is not much better than without the tail, although some of my previous measurements were before truing up the Scangauge.

I was wishing for a bit more but its not done yet.
