It amazes me that people acknowledge air tabs have minimal effect on mpg as they have minimal effect on air flow and then claim a substantial effect on stability when it is windy with no objective evidence to support the claim.:S
There has been several tests to substantiate the claims about how AirTabs modify the airflow but some people continue to dismiss them and ignore any statements by actual users. Of course these are the same people that swear by someone's review of a product that THEY approve of. :R
Where are objective tests?
decreasing speed 1 mph is reported to save 3% in mpg according to documents from cummins which is on the same magnitude as the "claims" for air tabs. Most people would view 1 mph difference as minimal and essentially unmeasurable error. This assumes you think the claims are not exagerated and may only be 1 to 2%.
So since people do understand 1 mph and 3% where is the objective evidence for stability????
People also put magnets in their shoes, where copper bracelets, and claim placebo sugar pills reduce their pain so individual claims are always suspect. Where is objective evidence on the stability?
