I feel your pain my friend. Even with the partial WAI I too have seen the drop. So far my tank average is looking like about 14MPG's. I Just got back from work a few min ago. I've seen up to 20MPG's on my way home from work, tonight we had about 2" of snow on the roads and a temp of 19F, I got 13.5MPG's. It's ruff. The best you can do is button it up and try to save as much heat as you can for the next trip. I've got the Warm Air Intake to decrease re-warming time, 4slot grill block to keep the heat in, and a gasket around the hood to keep the warm air from escaping. Haven't had the electric fan kick in once, with engine temps running around 200F. Another benefit is the ice on the hood melts faster then before, so it stays clean. Of course thats just a sign I need to put insulation on the underside.
