Hate to say it, but there is definitely an Araon's in Rock Springs, WY. Next to the recruitment agency.

Fuel consumption

Does anyone actually know exactly whether the aerodynamic attachments on the truck actually have an impact on fuel consumption?

This signature virus has been spliced with the Fundementalism-B virus to create a new more contagious strain. Please look for it infecting a signature near you.

The technology to make it a factor is already there (tire packs with various rolling resistance factors, in ETS2 I think), but there’s no evidence of aerodynamic accessories improving fuel consumption, let alone actually less wind drag. That would be nifty though.

Yes, that would be cool. But unfortunately, ecomony doesn't play a role in the game.

A simple factor could do, eg use a little less fuel overall

There’s already wind drag in the game, just not for accessories. I’d like that additionally to said fuel consumption factor.

I don't care about aerodynamics untill there are real weather effects in game. We now don't have any wind effects, so what would be the purpose of aerodynamics?
