I installed a modified lower grille block and it seems to be working quite well. Temps is actually lower @ 184F most of the time.

I averaged 62.6 MPG yesterday on my 30-mile commute and 59.7 MPG for the day (60 miles). Current tank average is sitting at 55.4 MPG.

I strongly believe the new lower grille block combined with higher outside temperatures is helping my fuel economy. Will post pics soon.
