My tentative game plan for the week: try to whip up some rear wheel skirts and grill blocks using duct tape and cardboard then give it a couple coast down tests to see if that give me any real gains. If the numbers show improvement, I might look into constructing some more durable replacements of plastic or aluminum for the trip down. I'm also planning on replacing a worn wheel bearing sometime this month, not sure how much impact on fuel econ that will have though
