Well, I had the first decent weather to test the effectiveness of the AeroLid and grill block. No major head or cross-winds and no tailwind to give false high numbers.

Speed was kept around 100-105km/h and highest average about midway through the trip peaked @ 23.1mpg US. Overall average was 22.4 mpg US.

Thats an average increase of 12% over my usual FE numbers.

On a side note, the 24mpg in my sig was calculated in IMP mpg.
