2007 Civic Sedan Rear Wing Spoiler - Worse Gas Mileage?

Hi! Can someone tell me if a rear wing spoiler on a Civic Sedan will cause you to get worse gas milage than one without it and if yes, is it a real big loss in milage?

Well naturally extra weight and wind drag will cause less mileage, but you're talking small decimal numbers there.

Re: (Demonis)

that's good to know. I just wanted my car to look semi-sporty but without loss of MPG. Thanks

If you are talking an OEM spoiler, no.
If you are referring to one of these bad boys, yes.

Re: (TypeRBoy)

the difference in drag is insignificant if you will
put on oem spoilers,but if you will be hardcore
and put on the real fly thing,it might actually
change,specially on long drives.
