Ok, latest observations, my round trip to Monterey is about 390 miles, when I drove my beater Prius it took about 8.5gallons, it died last year so now I’ve bought a Kia Soul (finding any new car in the past year was a challenge and used were selling for more than new, I found this kia new just off the boat for msrp)
the Kia would do the trip using using 11.8 gallons, first hour was loaded with all of my gear and the next 2+ hours or middle 4+ for the whole trip was loaded with all of the gear for two divers. Friday after the trip the car took 10.2 gallons. It’s was hot and the a/c was on the majority of the time. I already drive fairly conservatively and try to keep it at 70 most of the time but sometimes I find I’m doing 85 just to stay in the flow.

I bought these with the magnetic base so I could move them around, this is how I’ve tuned them and when I’m coming off the hill (live in the Sierra foothills) I used to see the onboard MPG clock show about 39 mpg, as it doesn’t take a lot of gas going mostly down hill. The last trip it showed about 48mpg, this I believe is due to these little bumps making my box on wheels slip through the air a bit easier.

here you can see I’ve clocked in the outer 3 on each side, this improved things another 10% or soView attachment 735945

Going through a soft touch type car wash doesn’t disturb them but the outer ones got moved with a run through a regular car wash with the more aggressive brushes, didn’t knock them off but did move them but being magnetic it’s easy to remove them before such activity or just put them back in place.

I know it’s seems like snake oil but I think these actually include some snake.
Ok, I would move the Pods forward to where the rear door opens. Fine-tuning. It is interesting to see how each car is a

little different. Also, we find the MPG gauge is not so accurate, as fuel going in and miles covered. You might like to go a step further with the pods I am sending you and try the sides to pick up another few extra miles. Thanks.

I first tried them forward of the hatch, my 3rd gen soul has a mora square rear lip so I saw some improvement with the trailing end, the beauty of the magnetic ones is I can keep trying different spots.
My wife was with me when I filled up and as I told her about the increased mpg she said I want some, for her Prius! So I may need some for her.
 
Was on holiday and almost forgot about this.

Fuel cost went up again by 12% at the beginning of July.

Is the rear metal or plastic.
Unfortunately it's plastic (well not magnetic)

No problem we make adhesive for that with 3m automotive. Can remove easy with wd-40 and keeps them on solid. Will be sending Lex some samples. We do USA production and have two plants overseas which used shoe sole waste for our material. Very lightweight and sponge 9-Pod Kit | AeroHance Pods Use code for Scubaboard discount IDIVE.

I’ve replaced the magnetic ones with the stick ons on the Soul but added the mags in a few other spots just to see what happens.
