I just returned from a two-day drive on I-95 (in my car). It struck me that
most of the long haul trucks had a variety of wind deflecting
devices--front air dams, long panels between the wheel to reduce air under
the trailer, and curving shields over the rooftop AC. Has anyone tested if
any of these would improve our MPG? I have two rooftop storage units, for
instance. It would be easy to make a deflector to lessen air resistance--if
it would improve mileage.
