Appears to be a solid 2 mpg gain (7-9% increase).... It was also pretty cool to "see" them working. I drove under a falling leaf. It would normally have hit my windshield and bounced over. Today, I saw it falling and then get rushed up over the windshield without ever hitting it, so it would appear that the tabs on the hood are indeed directing airflow over the windshield to some extent. Granted, this was one lousy leaf... it will be interesting to see if this trend continues (lots of falling leaves this time of year), and if I have the same experience noted by the other guy - a cleaner windshield...

Now that's what I call just diving in! Wondering where you got the idea for using the tabs on the hood?
