what is the purpose of the miniature "reverse mud flap" on the rear wheel well?

I'm no aerodynamicist, but I assume they're for airflow management under the car. My passenger side flap was broken this winter. Maybe that's why I'm not getting 50MPG... :biggrin:

thanks, one other quick question. does the gas tank not have one of those metal protector flaps where you gass it up, or did mine break off, because i did not see one when i first filled it up.

I was wondering the same thing too but i guess that just means thats just the way it is. Makes it easier when your dumping fuel system cleaner in your tank atleast.
