I tried these years ago,but didnt find much benefit with a high4x4.I saw a towsure Ad recently for one,read the road laboratory report and bought one.my car is a Volvo xc70,est.2.4,212hhp.my van a pegasus rimini.I consider the van to be blunt,not very aerodynamic.Without foil,26mpg towing,with foil 28mpg usual roads.I have noticed hills i would come down to5th on the autobox,it now climbs those hills in top,6th and without dropping speed.I therefore feel the expense worh it,we do a lot of touring,and winter in spain,there is a considerable saving when fairly high mileage is the norm.
