Here's a link to a NASA study of Airtabs:
NASAThe real issue is cost vs benefit. For long-haul truckers, even a fractional increase in mpg justifies the expense. (And yes, we often see trucks with Airtabs.) For recreational RVers, it is a closer call -- how many miles would you have to drive in order to break even?
However, if the Airtabs not only increase mpg but also improve handling, then the cost may well be justified. That is a matter of personal preference.
