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.

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.
