Hey freakazoid, I would love to see some pictures of your grill block, and maybe a little description on how you went about putting it in - I'm planning to put one in on my XFE asap....I'm not mechanically inclined at all, but a grill block looks like an easy install, some pictures would definitely help me

I'm also going to raise my tire pressure from 31 psi (from the dealership) to around 39-40 psi today....

since I started hypermiling in earnest, and trying out EOC, my 2 day 80% city driving is at 38.1 right now, with no mods on the car yet. I think thats not too shabby for a beginner. I'm worried about snow though......

Jammer - I'm going to change my breakout oil too; I don't think it's been changed since the car was originally bought (I got it from the dealership @89% with 3.4k miles, down to 83% now).....I've only had the car 2 weeks....do you think I should hold off, or change the oil now?
