[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1505898, member: 14668"] "Something for nothing" was a poor choice of words on my part. Another way to say it that lift equals drag. Lift is simply airflow routed in a different direction. If your goal is to increase MPG then a wing wont help you because the decrease in rolling resistance you get from the lift is offset by the drag. Additionally, a wing on a car will only generate lift at high speeds, but the additional weight of the wing and the drag it creates will be borne by the car at ALL speeds. [/QUOTE]
