Oh yeah, I pulled the roof rack/deflector when I took the fan out. Sorry forgot to mention that. It still has the small front to back rails. I'm keeping my eyes open for the mirrors at Autozone that other people have mounted inside.

If I get the same results this week I will install an electric fan, yes I am watching my temp carefully but I dont stop from here to work but twice. Timing those lights I stay rolling/cooling.

I'm learning about aero tricks now, I think I may be fabricating a Kammback. It and some front end mods that I am hestiatant to do without any fan at all. Flat hub caps and a little lowering and I hope to get 25+ mpg consistantly. Thats my goal anyway, I think its realistic,
even if it has the aero of a brick right now!

I keep looking for something else that starts out getting better mileage but right now the funds are not looking good. After June that money starts looking better. Odd you should reply there are 2 Metros on CL I kinda glanced at this morning.
