Yeah I get the turtle icon. Accelerating at 1500 in this vehicle is sluggish and it can take half a mile to get to 55.
My fill-ups have been 10-20% commuting, 75% highway and 10% in cities with traffic lights.
I am next going to pump my tires to 44, the max and work on my front grill block.
I have done some informal air flow testing. Hand out the window feeling the wind and it appears that there isn't much laminar flow on the roof a foot or two behind the windshield. Next step will be to use my tufted wand on the hood and windshield.
My windshield has a rather large rubber seal that appears to trip the flow. The wipers are behind a plastic nacelle that has a lip on it giving some deflection.
