So I installed a 200sx bumper and used heavy duct tape to close off the openings. I saw dramatic improvements in coast down distance as everyone does. The surprise is when I ran across a 200sx grill, or I should say grill blocker as my year range was just a small gap at the bottom for an opening, installed and filled up my tank before heading home. Normally the gas guage is sitting at Full, not above by the time I got home. Today, the gas guage still sets above Full, not all the way to true full, but still above. I know this is not the best way to judge fuel economy, but it is the only way I have right now. The further shock is on the slow hills that my car was holding the speed going down, today gained speed going down. I am installing the taller tires tomorrow, and will let you know how my overall mileage does.
