A-ha, finally did fill up the tank, not much driving during the winter, but what a horrible tank it was, barely better than 35MPG, usually conditions were such that car did not want to go, lot of snow on road, despite my best efforts I did not manage to meet even EPA/user's manual statement and I have been using all of hypermiling tricks, also have driven very slowly, I have had full grille block at front too for whole winter, but still no avail, probably would have been lot worse without all the tricks, but still what a poor tank it was.

I have another car that I will use probably bit more for short trips, but maybe I try to beat my record and do some aeromods for this car too.

Only mod during winter was that front lip/dam, had no issues with that, but my bumper repair did not like when I used car as snow plow to open my driveway a bit, so I need to make new repairs for the bumper and I thought that I will make it so that there is fully new airdam that acts as bumper too, also planned a bit about new Kammback.

This time those will not be made from scrap parts, but from new sheetmetal to be more durable and with plenty of material, I should be able to make it bit better functioning too.

With help of mother nature, I have got some new shapes designed
