Default Ford OEM bug shield vs Fuel mileage
I want to put the Ford OEM bug shield on my truck but I need to know if you notice a difference in fuel mileage? or is it to small to matter. thanks

No difference. When driving you can't even really see the bugshield, or at least the OEM one. Mine came with the truck, and I removed it because I like the look of the truck better without it.

There is no difference in fuel mileage. Had mine on for a year +. It helps with rock that would have hit the front tip of my hood. I have seen it in action lol

Huge difference if you get the bug shield that has the EV logo! But it only works with the corresponding zero gravity crankshaft ball bearings and the associated anti-ether paint protection coating.

Not sure if srs.

They do about as much for gas mileage as spoilers and stickers do for horsepower on Civics.
