Update:
This morning I made covers for the back wheels:

I did some ABA testing today..... results show a 1.48 MPG gain!
A= 45.15
B=46.54
A2 = 44.98

I had not expected this much gain for a $15 mod!

I have all the data but need to make a nice file (and graphs) yet, I will post that up when I have it done!

Wow, I am surprised it made that much of a difference. Nice job! Now I really want to finish my aero hub caps. BTW, I like your Kammback and skirts.
