Question Chin Spoiler

I recently took off the chin spoiler on my truck to see how much it affected my mpg during my trip from southern California to Lake Tahoe and back. I was curious if any of you have seen any major differences to your fuel economy when you added/removed your chin spoiler. I'll update my findings when I complete my trip.

It's dam(n) ugly... I've also thought about removing it, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I actually took mine off today as well. I'm very interested to see if anyone has different MPG's with and without.

Wind Tunnel Testing......
I hate to inform you but it there for a reason.
Albeit minor in some minds, its actually part of the whole Aero package designed in tunnel testing to get the most MPG they can to please the Gooberment.

Just Sayin.
