It might be in your best interest to start at the upper grille, then, once you're comfortable with it, block one part of the lower grille, etc.. until you start noticing the fan coming on more often, or noticing that your heater is hotter, blah blah blah..
You really should get an aftermarket temp gauge, at least. The OEM gauge isn't accurate at all, and will read normal in a range of ~160dF to 205dF before it changes position again.

Oh ok.. I figured it would be better to block off the 2 lower ones since the top ones is so small anyways but I guess Ill do the top one first..
btw... If my results come out like metro-mpg and I get a 3.1% gain then I would be getting an extra 1 MPG which is pretty good... But that obviously is "IF"
