Last two full tanks with improved upper grille block :

47.77 MPG
47.24 MPG

Previous 2 tanks without improved upper grille block :

44.70 MPG (improved grille block installed @ half tank)
44.42 MPG

Disclaimer: not an A-B-A test results.

Not sure what to make of those numbers. There is definitely a gain, although I am not convinced it would be as high as 3 MPG.
