    I notice these skirts on vans are everywhere with companies. How much does your fuel use go down with these and is they as helpful on skateboards and steps as they are on the vans?

    I don't think they'll work on a skateboard as a fork lift would more than likely smash in to them while loading or unloading. As for a stepdeck they are pretty low as it is. I've pulled the vans with the skirts and I didn't notice a bit of differance,of course I also run the northeast region so I don't expect to see much of a change in fuel mileage anyhow. A few hundred miles here and a few hunderd miles there around this area your not going to notice much unless you have a light load.
