brucepick - I think I'll try out the foam in the lower grille when my cardboard one wears out. I should have plenty of foam already. I like your belly pan, I might have to do one if you get good results.

Well, there's the difference. My last tank was about 90% freeway, but at 60-70 and I got 37MPG. I'm probably just expecting a bit too much with the way I accelerate sometimes. I guess I'll just have to do some aeromods and tweak the nut behind the wheel a bit more.
If I find a straight, flat, low traffic piece of road around here, I'll do an ABA test with the WAI and the stock intake. The trick will be finding that road.
