Well then that's easy: For good fuel economy you want a warm air intake. That means:
  • The air intake should be moved into the engine bay, behind the radiator is best,
  • You can block your intercooler, or
  • Take it off, thereby freeing up the intake flow.
In any case the upper grille can be blocked, while lower should be used to regulate the coolant temperature.
