What is the intended function for these? Increased gas mileage?

Reducing air turbulence and drag under the truck while driving, thereby improving fuel economy. Some have reported a drop of up to 2 mpg when removing the valence all together. I'm sure switching to the 2wd valence also results in a mpg drop, but that didn't stop me from doing it.

Most that have kept good records of before/after air dam have reported somewhere between .5-1mpg difference on the average fuel economy so about 2 gallons on the 34 gal tank or ~$4 for every fill up that you spend extra.

Anybody remove the airdam all together? My truck has a plow and they trimmed it out for the mount and it looks terrible. My truck is ugly when the plow is off.
