Hi guys has anybody fitted an aeroplus windslammer to a landrover discovery 3 and seen an improvement in MPG??. if so how far back of the vehicle was it fitted

thanks to all whoe reply 

There was an article in this month's CC magazine.  I was quite interested as it was stated that purple line had done extensive testing on it........that is until I realized that it was an advertisment feature.

They should not really be allowed to publish adverts dressed up as magazine articles.  Very misleading.

They have to be very close to the van otherwise you simply create a large amount of turbulence, only good thing my dad used to say about them when they were all the rage was that there was no dead flies on his van windows!!

Also for those who are in 6th at 60mph towing, you are bordering on labouring the engine and increasing mpg, which some do report, my onboard computer tells me I'm better in 5th on the flat at 62ish and 6th on a slight downslope. I've tried various ways of improving the mpg over the years, one test was to follow trucks on the way to the site 100m away using their slipstream, then drive as normal on the way home, the result, no difference in mpg!!
