Exerpt of his experience with these....
We've increased our fuel mileage by about 9mpg on a full load, from 11-12 MPG to 20-21 mpg. We pull fast, heavy and long most of the time. With the Airtabs as installed, wind noise is reduced and the trailer stability is phenomenal. Evidence the Airtabs are working is most noted in rainy weather, in cross winds and meeting larger semi-trailers on two lane highways. The unloaded truck will get 25 mpg but with Airtabs fitted as per our pictures, we are getting 32-34 mpg. The Airtabs on the top rear of the cab eliminate 80% of the bugs on the front of the trailer. If you watch the bugs, they tell you where the air is going. The Airtabs on the hood of the truck keeps the windshield cleaner and reduces wind noise with the windows open.

There are 67 Airtabs on the truck and 95 on the trailer. A small investment for this kind of fuel economy and stability, not to mention the extra horsepower. It seems with Airtabs we aren't bucking wind, but directing it. This outfit gets a lot of curious looks but these results prove the Airtabs usefulness. The savings on a 1000 mile trip fully loaded would be approximately 35 gallons of fuel. At $3.00 per gallon, that's $105.

Ill post back installation pics and eventually MPG data once available for anyone interested in how these do. This could be a good front wheel skirt replacement option for just about any car possibly and maybe a front windshield deflector? For me, Im hoping it does that as well as also help around the back of the cab and bed maybe... anyway - I have them coming, will see how they do.
