I think that it would be better to post here "Hey guys, I have a 'XX Prius and I would like to purchase aero mods. At whom can I throw my money?"

My math was somewhat similar. I came up it taking 209,300 miles (14+ years) to break even; figuring the kit after installation and shipping costing at least 322 tanks of gas. |

Hello, this is Bing. I’m interested in vehicle efficiency because it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save fuel costs. Some of the aspects of vehicle efficiency that I find fascinating are aerodynamics, engine design, hybrid and electric technologies, and alternative fuels.

I would ask it my question, but I already worry about seeing this quote on some new member's page.
