    side skirts are cheaper and work better overall, hands down. Get some good solid sideskirts, rim covers, fuel efficient tires, and a tire inflation system. You can't go wrong with those choices.

    They help, but as Rawze mentioned, side skirts are better.

    I'm buying a trailer soon. It will be specked with:

    Side skirts (areo flex max from freight wing) 8.4% savings
    Gap Fairings (Freght wing) 1-2% savings
    Trailer Tail (ATDynamics) 6.6% savings
    Michelin XONE XTA Energy tires Unknown savings
    Tire Covers Unknown savings
    Micro Blue bearings 3-6% mpg savings

    With all that I should be able to save 15-20% of my fuel. That will end up saving me over 10k/year.

    Micro Blue is snake oil. Their claims are not proven.
