It doesn't do that much. I do feel it though. Yesterday was uber windy and when I was going down I4 at about 80mph the rear end was going where the wind took it.

If your rear end is being pulled around then isn't the wing causing the opposite effect of what should be happening? Just curious..

These were biiiig gusts of wind. It was actually pretty faint and only noticed it only because I've been trying to "feel" something.

Also watching my mpg. If it effects me badly then I'll take it for daily driving.

Maybe apples for oranges my aero add-ons vs. yours....but there has been nothing noticable gas mileage-wise stock AP2 vs. the CR ing and lip I added about a year ago.

Just about all my miles are highway speed miles.

I am really experiencing no difference....24.x \ gal. VTEC = fairly frequent. Crusing speed = not the speed limit. My trips to work are 25 mi one way with some stop & go (getting to the Interstate, Rocky Point area) and I can do 5 days of that on a tank. I don't rub the tank bone dry.

Of course my understanding, if I remember correctly on the CR wing design is a portion produces downforce, a portions smooths the airflow. So to me the smoothing should cancel some of the effects the downforce may impart on fuel economy. Honestly don't see an issue. Maybe scutrCR would like to chime in on that. I mean, I have been known to be completely full of sh*t at times.

More pics soon toekneeg plz.
