Well after about 5 days of really trying to get the best mileage I am happy to report that I covered 354 miles on 9.051 gallons. My wife filled it up tonight. She filled until it clicked off like we always do. The gauge says full, but I am alittle skeptical.

My only mods are a lower air dam and taped off lower grille in the bumper. Tires at 40psi. Nearly all the miles are with the AC on. It 95+ here in Hotlanta.

I was only expecting high 20s. So a few more tanks to see how I average out now.
