| What kind of truck do you have? I've got one on mine, when I was pulling a van it made a difference but its always been on the truck, the most I do is raise or lower it. I gained around 1mpg just by raising it up to push the air over the front of the trailer.

| Well I give myself a top running speed of about 105Kph (about 65 Mph) so I guess that speed envy would only translate into when I'm parked hahahahaa. Quote:

| Second question that comes up here. Can anyone tell me a Canadian dealer that I might want to get it from? Cheers |

| I put one on my 06 W9 with a C 15,13spd,336 rears and 72 aerosleeper.I went from 6mpg to 6.4 running same trips at 65 mph. At that speed I'm turning 1300 rpm. That seems to be the sweet spot. Hope this helps. |

| Canuck: stand in the back of a pickup truck on the interstate, and hold a 4x4 piece of plywood at an angle with the edge on the roof of the truck. Then step back a bit and hold it flat to the wind. You'll find out. Hoo Lordy I'm inna good mood tanite!

| Thanks for the theoretical comparative analysis idea there Red Fox. It sounds like an intriguing experiment but frankly, I prefer not to carry out tests which may result in my becoming forcibly amorous with the asphalt. Cheers |
