No hard feelings... Disrupting the incoming airflow on a aerodynamically engineered piece of equipment is never a good idea.... Good Luck

I agree with you wonderdog that it does hurt mpg. But, like Treputt said. Even on a dedicated run with the same load with same route. There are still alot of factors that effect mpg. The biggest one being driver habits.

Rhetorical questions, all of them. -
What do you think is the effect of the Deer guard on a truck????
-
In my 2012 Cascadia without a guard I ran 7.2 MPG last summer (And spent ~$1,000 on a crappy after-market bumper after hitting a dog). In the short time that I've had this 2014 Evolution, with deer basher, I'm averaging 7.8 MPG. Yes, I know that it has to hurt fuel economy some. But it's not hanging out in the slipstream like side mirrors or bug deflectors. If I can maintain this kind of fuel economy with the added protection from deer strikes, I'll be happy!MachoCyclone and Soule_Man Thank this. -
The new RigGuards are designed to be more aero friendly. Saw them on the '15 Cascadias.

if I slow down to 55, I imagine I could get 9 easy. -
