I plan on lowering it, block off the grille some, put a Hurst Olds air dam on the front and a belly pan. I would like to do something about venting the air under the hood, also. Maybe some air extractors.

Anyway, thought you guys might like to hear about an old hot rodder and drag racer getting good MPG's with a muscle car.
I want to say congrats. That is some good FE for that size aero brick. I always liked the 442s....
