Improving MPG

RichP said:

Been giving this some thought and seeing as how they are advertising THIS on the major networks I've been brainstorming other uses, one that immeadiatly came to mind while I was mulling over the finish choice for my wheels was using 4 of them to replace the center caps, it might cut down on tubulance, keep the rotors cooler and improve braking capability. Figured a couple of stand offs so they would sit out about 3 inches or so to allow good air flow to pull air over the rotors, it might even aid in cooling the engine compartment







What can I say, I just went thru 3 2 hour tech interviews on the phone and I'm wrung out....

Smells like BS to me. If it was such a good thing wouldn't car makers use them to be able to meet EPA and fuel usage standards?

How about 6 of them mounted on one of the roof rack cross bars, all the way to the rear, tilted down a bit, might help to break that low pressure area back there as well as keep the rear window cleaner in inclement weather.....just some thoughts....
