Unfortunately, as of now, I have no formal way to measure mpg. Being only 16, I'm going to have to wait until summer so I can afford a scan guage. However, I'm sure I'll be able to have a slight idea of whether or not my modifications are working. I always multiply the gallons of gas I get by 30, which is what I was getting about 1 1/2 months ago when I filled up fully. So I would assume, around the 3-5 mpg improvement mark I should be able to notice when I can go longer without the check gauge light coming on? Either way, I'm doing this more or less just to occupy my time. Well, besides trying to get some better mileage/saving money.
The Car; 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport Automatic.
The Plans; Grill Block, Increased tire pressure, possibly rear wheel covers.
So Far, Today I put a grill block over the center 24 inches. ( That's as wide as the plastic is. It was also getting too cold for me to cut the other pieces.)
Yes, my car is leaking anti freeze. Just noticed today. Dad says it is also leaking oil. eek. However, neither of them were low, so it's a small leak.
