Aero aids

[TFucili]

I primarily pull a tag along motorcycle trailer which is flat in the front and with a little extra height. It tows much harder than its weight would suggest. I'm wondering if the bubble fronts or wings atop the cab, etc. are of any real benefit for MPG. Any feedback?

TFucili, IMHO I would think that a combination of a bubble front and "Air Tabs" on the rear would have a positive effect on fuel mileage. Having said that you may wish to do a cost/benefit analysis to determine if this is the correct course of action for your situation, ie how much towing do you do? Good luck with your efforts!

Gathomas, thanks for the reply. Interestingly, BeaverRun raceway is a place we frequent! You aren't one of those people with the anti-track lawn signs are you?



Like they say, "You haven't raced 'til you lapped the beaver. " :-laf
