Leg 1 (of 2 westward legs) yielded ~63mpg over 936 miles at an average speed of 65mph. Elevation change is about 5,700 ft increase from the starting point. No AC was used since outdoor temps were pretty cool. The first ~3 hours were in light to very heavy rain, as it seemed like the storm cell was following the same route I was. Lightning, thunder, and some periods of incredibly heavy rain, but thankfully no hail or other frozen stuff.

Cd -

I currently have a "home depot" front air dam and some additional covering over the front wheel hub caps. Not much. I tried a rear belly pan, but didn't put it on very well so it came off on the first day (see an earlier post in this thread for more details). otherwise, I started out with a grill block (as shown on the first post).
