Test Results
The best way to evaluate the fuel savings potential of Eco-flaps for your fleet is to perform what we call a "quick test" that takes roughly three hours to complete.

Andersen Flaps will provide the mudflaps for free during this evaluation.
You need to choose a route along an interstate highway that allows you to travel roughly 15 miles in one direction, exit the highway, and return in the opposite direction to the starting point.
The tractor ECM should be zeroed out prior to beginning the first round trip. After completing the first round trip, the conventional mudflaps on the truck and trailer should be swapped out for Eco-flaps.
The ECM gets zeroed out again before starting the second run. In repeating the route with our flaps, you should experience a 0.4 MPG to 0.6 MPG improvement in fuel economy.
We recommend that you repeat this entire test again: once with conventional flaps, and once with Eco-flaps so there can be no doubt about the consistency of the fuel economy figures in either scenario.
The beauty of this test is the same driver, same load, same route, same weather, same speed, and same equipment. The only variable that is changing and impacting the fuel economy is the type of mudflaps being used for each round trip.
