spoilerIn the $3.50-4.00/gallon world we live in today, one would think the last thing someone is concerned about is how much downforce they have keeping their rear wheels on the ground. Take this poor schmuck mentioned on Autoblog for instance. Never mind the fact that he definitely doesn’t have a need for this aerodynamic device, but it’s painfully obvious that he has no idea how it’s supposed to work in the first place. Or perhaps he has too much downforce, and likes it a bit loose in the rear-end? Either way, I bet he’d prefer to save the 5-10MPG he’s dragging around behind him, just for show.

Here’s a radical idea: I bet 99% of the cars currently on our public roads with spoilers don’t need ‘em. Why not save yourself some gas money and leave the stupid thing at the dealership? You’re not impressing anyone anyway, Mario.
