NO WAY!! I had a feeling this may be the case in my car also (toyota tercel), but never wanted to post that, i just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me...or my MPGuino

so, if i were to try and 'test' for this in my car, would i be looking for MPG at a certain MPH; or MPG at a certain RPM?
dont mean to thread-jack!!, its a very nice grill block!! i'm going to have to try and get around to a more permanent one like that, instead of the cardboard/duct tape one i fabed last weekend
