Key word here is "hole". The low pressure under the vehicle sucks the boundary layer through the hood keeping flow attached and reducing drag.
Btw I just launched a new product, Fastholez MPG-Plus, anyone's interested? |

Commenters in the PM piece are making some valid critiques about their test methodology.

It works on everything, 50+% savings. I tested it on a TDI with FastHolez vs a 89 Taurus, the TDI got much better mileage.

Sure, things are moving fast. I just contracted with Hummer to "mod" all their vehicles. So as soon as you see one feel free to poke a couple FastHolez in it. |
