Hey All,

I was just screwing around with my GPM and wanted to see the difference with the "bugflector" on the truck and with it off the truck.

I granny it as to get as much out of the tank as possible and I found that I actually get better GPM with the 'bugflector' on the truck than with it off the truck. I thought that interesting as when the 'buflector' is on, the wind noise coming from it is incredible. I thought that it was harming the aerodynamics, not helping it. But, I thought wrong.

W/O BF = 14.86mpg
With BF = 15.51mpg

Wierd, 'eh?

THANKS Explorer_2196
 






according to your numbers you get worse MPG with the Bugflector on. Maybe you typed it up in a hurry. Sorry to burst your bubble.
 






LOL - you're right, only one cup of coffee :)
