Sounds like you are going to save 500 dollars in 7500 miles. Keep it together and don't drive on gravel roads.  Good job.

I also put on a front air dam and side skirts that is about three inches from the ground. With those mods, I went from 9 to 12mpg towing the trailer.
Next time it will be the nose cone and the boat tail mods and maybe the wheel covers, wheel skirts and undercarriage sealing.
