My car is a 2004 Kia Optima with the 2.7l V6. When I first got the car I was getting an average of 22.5 mpg after some modifications I have gotten it up to 27.3 mpg. This is my first attempt at an areodynamic mod. I basically made a NASCAR style front bumper for my car. Aluminum flashing and duct tape...I just wanted to see how well it would work before I invested alot into it. This mod got my mpg up to 30.2.

I will try to attach pictures later.... it was not working out tonight.
