Thanks, I am working to improve on my dismal 22mpg current average. I did notice that after taping of the opening in the bumper that my engine temp is slightly raised. Planning to buy a scanguage in the near future so that I can get real data. I don't trust the GM guages too much.

So tomorrows plan is to recheck tire pressure. Tape off some more of the grille and possibly change the spark plugs. I bought them last spring and still have yet to install them. Also need to check the air filter. Have just changed the oil and recent trans fluid and filter.
