Last night went out and was almost to 3/4 tank. When I got to my destination it read just above 3/4 139.2 miles. Usualy I try to get 100 miles per every 1/4 tank. When I saw that I was way past 100 miles for the 1/4 I thought wow I have improved my FE. When I got home from my destination it read just under 3/4 155.3 miles. I was surprised. I just got home tonight and it reads 199.3 miles and not even at 1/2 tank. I was just going to go inside then I thought I should look at how many miles I have till empty. My car and SG show about the same number off by 2. 325 and 327 miles

Pic 1 dash 139.2 miles
Pic 2 dash 155.3 miles
Pic 3 dash 199.3 miles
Pic 4 car and SC reading the same miles till empty 325 and 327
Pic 5 a test for a bumper block

The bumper pic block was tanken earlyer today I drove to a frew places and my temps where getting hot 215f. When I got to my first stop I took of one of the inner strips of tape off. Then when I left for my next destination temps where down but still too hot for me 202f. When I got to my second stop I took another inner strips of tape off. On my way home the temps where doing better still a little to hot for my liking but I am letting it slide for now. It was 195-197f.
I did touche up the tape on the grill block to hood. Added more to cover the hood gap. And when doing that noticed that my right front head light does not sit flush with the car like the left one does. I need to look in to that.
