43 mpg on Ford Ranger

Been slowly watching the mpg increase this summer as I add mods. I recently added mooncaps and folded in the passenger side mirror and got 43 mpg after a couple weeks of commuting 15 miles to work, mostly on highway after 4 stop signs.

Other mods: partial belly pan, partial grill block, aerocap, rear wheel skirts, front gap arch filler.

Next up, working on a full boat tail to be attached on a hinge and easily removable, in addition to a full belly pan and better rear wheel skirts. And engine block heater.
After these, I think I might be able to consistently get 50 mpg on the hwy. Pretty wild for a truck. I remember initially hoping to get 40. Now, if I don't get 40mpg I'm disappointed!
