Hi,

Well, it's not what you got with it, but what you would get without it.

It's about a 900 mi. trip from Phoenix to Austin. For each MPG you gained, you'd save approx. 1 Gal. of Fuel (or approx. 3%) - that's not insignificant, especially if the Drag costs you 2 or 3 MPG or more...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
