Holy crap!
Can you remind us of your MPG rating before you started to do the aerodynamic modifications ?

Also, how many miles per gallon would a person get if they had a car identical to yours ( with just the aero mods ) but drove " normally " ( meaning driving at least 70 MPH with no "cheating" such as engine off coasting ... etc.

For example, let say driving on the highway at 70 MPH ( but with the with the A/C off . )

How many miles per gallon did you gain from using the alternator kill switch ?

I could go back and find all of this info. in the prior posts, but I thought it might be helpful tio have it all in one reply for any new viewers that skip to the end.

Thanks for the inspiration Andrew !
