What owners of King Wings are saying: "I'm averaging 6.2 miles per gallon now, when it used to be 5.4-5.7 mpg. This is one of the fastest-paying investments I've ever made. I get compliments on their cosmetic look. I haven't seen any nicer looking ones out there. Plus, I've been in some awesome winds and they don't move. That's what everyone likes about them - they're solid and high enough off the ground that you don't have clearance issues. I'm happy." -Doug Zarling, owner of the refrigerated truck pictured, delivers food products from Wisconsin to California regularly. "The wings work quite well. I'm impressed. I'm saving a 1/2 mile to the gallon or better. I have no trouble with them at all. They don't flutter and seem to be very strong. I've never had 7 mpg or more with this truck until we put the wings on. I really didn't think it would make that much of difference when I first got them, but I was pretty surprised. Now I'd be upset if I didn't have them on." -Eddie Yonts
