I hear you. If only the mod was less conspicuous and less likely to draw negative attention from the California Highway Patrol. I am going to try one of the designs others have suggested that are shorter but use a modest angle to accomplish a similar effect. 0.60mpg is not nothing, and if I have it figured out I don't think I'll want to leave it on the table.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
