160,000 miles of aeromods and 1000's of dollars in fuel savings

I first started aeromodding my 1992 Honda Civic CX in 2005 after hurricane Katrina showed where gas prices could go and with no new inexpensive fuel efficient cars being sold at the time by the car manufacturers. The odometer was then at 390,000 miles. It has recently passed through 550,000 miles for a total of over 160,000 miles of driving with aeromods installed (and 42,000 miles of driving with the lean burn engine). In that time I have saved over $4600 in fuel savings over the mileage that the car would have had if left in its stock configuration. About half of that savings was due to hypermiling, the remainder was from the aeromods, which greatly improved my FE at normal highway speeds. Also 1000's of photos taken by passing motorists of the weird looking car.
