Tuft Testing #2

Testing my new aerodynamic mods. The revised, flatter flares leave virtually no "wake", but I can't see for sure in the video if the new rear belly pan (under the rear bumper) is ideal. When the "tufts", little snips of string, stay against the surface that's good. If they lift off and wave around in the air it's bad.

The car is rated at 21/28 MPG and my average fuel economy is 39.1 MPG. The body mods are old corrugated plastic (coroplast) campaign signs. Duct taped, zip tied or screwed on.

Also feel free to ask respectful questions :)
