Mods are front grill block, opened up a little right now for cooling. A kill switch and bike shifter hand throttle mounted on the gear shifter, and an MPGuino.

I drive the same rig in the winter. So an airdam is not a likely mod for me. this last winter I seemed to get 40-45mpg all winter long. With the alignment issue a cold week with no new snow but a good layer of ice let the alignment slip a bit and I ended up with a 48mpg tank.

EOC is a chilly thing when the temp is down.

so far over 350 miles into this tank and mileage looks like it will be better than the previous. could be a trend here real quick.
