you can never miss it-fuel saving

I don't quite know what to make of this. Seems like it should work...but it looks funny. I'm torn...So confused. I can say that I have always wondered about how the front plate affects aerodynamics, and have often wished that NY would simply allow us the option to not use it.

:suspicious:

Hmmm... unsightly, but mildly amusing.

The site says:
"$1000.00 Reward We are offering an unconditional $1,000 Reward to
anybody who can scientifically or physically prove that the fuel savings derived
from Highway Glider is less than 2.5% of overall fuel consumption on any
midsize passenger car at highway speeds of 75 mph or above with
moderate head/tail winds. "

Seems like nowadays most folks would be trying to avoid these speeds.

You could reasonably conclude that the claimed fuel savings is as much a
product of the tail winds as the product.

Why not add, "and going slightly downhill," and compelety undermine the
self-proclaimed benefits?

[Edit] Oops, amidst the chuckles I almost missed it;

Welcome to PriusChat, NancyFan

 

it is traditional to offer up scientific proof that your product works.
they're offering a reward if you can prove it does not work.

'designed and patented at MIT'. hm, whats the patent number?
yeah, i found the patent number on their other web site - but it comes up 'not found' on the government's database.

what does MIT mean - the institution of higher learning, or 'Made In a Tent'?

maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. but i was originally from Missouri, you have to 'show me'.

smells a bit like snake oil to me.

 

fortunately, those are illegal in Texas

 

What's illegal in Texas?

 

I think they're technically illegal in probably many states. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that in AZ any license plate cover, even transparent, is not allowed... although I haven't heard of anyone getting pulled over for it.

ahhh, yes.

 

Spam much, "Nancybot"?

... Brad

 

yes, any form of license plate cover in Texas is illegal, as are any license plate frames that cover any part of the lettering on the plate itself.

in louisiana, however, anything goes... thought about getting a PO Box over there and registering my car in LA
