Re: Wheel cover for fuel mileage ?
Just be aware that those wheel covers will reduce the cooling of your brakes! If you get in a situation where brake use is heavy, say hills or mountains, you may overheat them and lose your brakes altogether.
Yes, the wheel covers work, just look at pictures of 'lakes racers' on the salt flats...any streamlining helps reduce horsepower and drag loads. NOTE: they do not need a lot of brakes to stop, they have a freaking bunch of MILES to do so....
Keeping in mind the relative speeds and distances skoolies go, they are more decorative than anything else.
If you want to improve mileage, look into front air dams, there's a link around here somewhere.....
