Hello all I have reading the Fit Freak site for awhile in my search for a new vehicle but this is my first post. I just purchased an 09 MT sport and love it. I took it out to the mountains to go boarding the other day and received a couple rock chips so I am going to go in to get a deflector. Just wondering if anyone knows if the gas mileage changes at all with the different airflow over the hood?

Thanks

Thanks. I am on my way to get one. I only have 1000km on mine and like I said in the previous post I already have a few rock chips. It will be nice to keep the bugs and rocks off the hood.

I've had the hood deflector for a year now and I have yet to notice dead bugs on my hood or windshield. Although I live in an urban area so not that many bugs flying around that I can see.
