So far my camo van is an easy one to figure. I moved the rear mud flaps to the front and made a grill cover from materials that I had around my shop. Although not free they were already paid for. A couple of yards of $1/yard polyester fabric, 1 yard of carbon fabric $20, a pint of epoxy $10, duct tape $5.
So probably so far 37 dollars in material.
I am may spend another $50-75 on aero mods. And will spend another 20 on spray paint, sand paper. I doubt if I will tamper with my drivetrain. It is running normal right now and is fairly high mileage. I have some composite repairs in the rocker panels, covering rust through areas under the left sliding door.
I saw 26.7 mpg on my last fill and the conditions were not ideal. I am hoping to average 27 or higher, particularly with straight highway driving. I am wondering if my engine computer will improve its tuning as it adjusts to my new driving style.
Add 75 dollars for an Ultrascan gauge.
