Well, I just got back from my trip, and I got 5 pretty good tanks with the car. I checked my tire pressure a while back and it was 30, with a recommended max of 44, so that explains my 33 mpg on my first few tanks. I went up to 48 psi for the trip, also had the grill block on the top grill, and the passenger mirror folded in.
I broke 40 mpg for one of the tanks, but there was probably a net downhill on that leg. Averaged about 37 mpg, I'll take that since the EPA mpg is 31. Now I'm hooked though, I want to block a bit of the bottom grill, as well as the fog light holes on the sides, and maybe make some wheel skirts.
