MPG Drop with Towing Mirrors?
I am looking at the flip-out style towing mirrors for my '08 Ram. I have stock power/heated mirrors right now. Have any of you guys that added the tow mirrors noticed any drop in MPG? I can't imagine they would have a drastic effect...

I added them. They are too small to notice any affect. They do stick out more so you have to be careful going through drive thrus.

I lost at least 2mpg when I added them. Almost bad enough to take em off! When they are up its more like 3mpg.

They'll add drag, for sure. Might even push the truck backward in a head-wind.
