Interesting - I always thought warmer air = better MPG? How come that cooler air is better for a diesel?

How should I block the upper grille, and make a tube to ensure that the inlet get cool air? As the inlet flares out, it seems difficult to make a tube that will fit securely over it?

So would this be a good start, or am I going too far? Sorry for the poor drawing!
