on the areo idea.
someone had oposted that one of the car mags back in the 70-80??? did a econ project car over several months.
they either raised the rear or lowered the front as one of the mods.... BUT the result was slightly better mileasge.

I lowered the fron of my Q45 for this last trip to texas. about 1 1/4 inches. I broke 32mpg on the trip. last yr it was 30.9mpg
Now I also run a body kit so I'm sure that helped.
