I'm a frequent cruiser of Jalopnik and I saw an article for these today: http://www.gaspods.com/gaspod-details.html. Don't know if they would work on our trucks but they are looking for guinea pigs... I mean testers. You get 40% off if you're a tester. They cost between 100-150 bucks though. Anyone wanna try them and see how they work? Lol.

 

Good idea, but holy god. Even if I don't want custom paInted GasPods, it's still $100, and they say it's "luck of the draw." meaning you won't always get a full set of the same color!

Most testimonials on there say they saved a few dollars here and there. Taking that into consideration, I'd have to fill up 40ish times to see a return on GasPods. That's about 2-3 years for me.

Kinda neat though. Good find!

 

MythBusters tested a car covered with clay that was dimpled like the surface of a golfball, the car got better mpgs despite the added weight.

 

Yes they did, but the entire car had to be covered, not just a line going down the side. They used the physics of a golf ball on that one. These just try and channel the air straight. I can get a drastic change in MPG just by letting off the gas pedal slightly while driving. Like today, I tried my best to get good gas mileage on my trip to the north GA mountains. I ended up getting 18.7 MPG by being very light on the gas compared to my normal every day driving of 13.2 MPG.

 

Well I see more and more semi's coming into my work with these things on there trucks. I have asked some of them if they work and most of them claim about 1 more mpg. Now that doesn't seem much but if you drive like they do, it may add up.

 

looks pretty cool...but idk if it would work on trucks like ours without maybe a tono cover or a something like that...the tailgate prolly disrupts any positive gains from these.

 

Well I have a bed cover and the tailgate spoiler so it might do something. Who knows. But I'm not gonna be the guinea pig lol

 

yeah me either lol. if they give them to me for free maybe but im not wasting a tank and a half of gas on little magnetic things haha

 

I would probably forget to take them off in the truckwash, then I wouldn't have to remember anymore lol
