Thanks for all the excellent information.

The majority of my driving is on 2 lane blacktops at 55mph. Probably about 80% of it. This is broken up at about 12-15 mile intervals because of small towns I pass through. Now I could take the interstate (tollway) to work but then any $$ saved in the tank would go towards paying the tolls. Approx. $7/round trip unless you use Illinois' I-Pass then it's about $4 and is 5 miles longer each direction. I was just looking at it as an future option.

As a side point...I just added my first grille block over the weekend. It's a full upper grille block and I partially blocked the lower grille with a new license plate mounting. I haven't had the chance to run a tank through yet but If I knew how to upload pics I would put them on here for opinions. Can anyone help me out with how to get my pics on here?

Thanks again for all the great info.
