Does the cost of installing a airfoil on the cab roof of my truck offset any increase in gas mileage because of the aerodynamics? Does the airfoil effect handling of the truck while hauling a 35 foot ...
From what I have read they do not help. I think the problem is they are too far from and not as tall as the trailer. The ones I have seen mounted there was several feet of space between it and the trailer, unlike an OTR truck where it is within two feet or so and shaped to match the trailer. Many of the newer 5ers are already contoured on the front for better aerodynamics.
