Probably not much, even with the headlight pockets, the CD on our cars is pretty low. And you would have to be traveling well above the posted speed limit in most states, to really see the areo effects, and we all know no one on these boards does that.

Agreed. You would have to be at speeds in excess of 100mph to see a difference. At that speed no one is concered about fuel economy.

At those speeds i think i'd be a little worried about the little velcro tabs keeping the covers on the car
