I tried all this crap on my Prius and the mileage dropped to 13.99 MPG. Need a loan for more gas now so I can get to work tomorrow!

I found that by removing the windshield and rear window, it allows great 'flow-through' airflow and reduces drag by at least 41.7%. I'd post my MPGs but I don't want to embarrass those on here still getting under 30.
