    I didn’t notice any loss of MPG when I had one and took it off, but I was averaging a lot of city miles.

    I took mine off immediately after purchase, and I was averaging 22-23mpg with all highway. Put it back for giggles and I can get 23.5-24mpg. So I guess for aero it’ll gain .5-1mpg

    To note, I travel all hwy/interstate about 450mi a week

    I commute about 85 miles daily, mostly two lane country roads.. getting about 22.5 mpg now with 1500 miles, don't really like the way it looks, also would like a better looking/made skid plate

    I commute about 40 miles a day and average around 20 mpg, but I drive a little aggressively. Didn't notice any difference between on and off with regard to mpg.

    I drive a lot of highway miles with my commute/road trips. It was about a 1 mpg decrease, 21 mpg dropped to 20. Does anyone know if a skid plate would help with aerodynamics and subsequently mpgs?
