I made improvements to front airdam, first I made it too low, it scraped on everything, now I did cut it bit less low, but I still have to be bit careful about where I drive, even there is more than 2 inches of clearance under it.
It has now also side deflectors so that front tires are not seeing direct air stream.

Weather has been great, so can't tell how much effect airdam has had, however now I got some insane half tank, again filling slowly on same station up to filler neck.

67.16mpg, that is too low to be realistic (uhm, high in mpg that is), imo. However I drive again and fill again soon, then we know how it is, if I get unrealistically high reading (uhm, low mpg that is, thinking l/100km here again), then average of those must be closer to reality.

Also I found out that pressure in tyres had disappeared, so there was only around 32psi left, put again to 44psi, so now it coasts very very long time compared how car was when I started modding it, too bad there has not been time for really test these.
