Curious, how much better is your gas mileage with those caps?

you know i havent really done an official test but im kinda guessing theres no change for a couple of reasons

1 the new tires are a little wider than stock so are prob a little heavier means more drag

2 the moon discs are actually pretty heavy alone

maybe if i still had stock tire size and put these moons on that might improve mpg a little but now theres the extra weight and drag so ill try to keep track and get some numbers

When I went from the stock 15" steelies and Eagle LS (craptastic) tires to 17x7 rims with 205/40/17 Parada Spec-2 (grippy, awesome) tires, I got the same gas mileage. But then again, that set up weighed about the same as the stock steelies and tires. It's only when I went to a heavier set up that I lost mpg's.

Would have never thought those moon discs would be heavy. lol.
