Civic update: I realized that I haven't ever quantified my gains from my two minor ecomods. Grille block and a power steering delete. The power steering was only the removal of the belt but the entire system is still there with the belt and a wrench in the trunk. But with a 4376 mile baseline and 2781 miles with mods I can be confident in the results.

Before: 37.24 mpg
Modded: 41.07 mpg
Difference: 3.83 mpg / 10.3% improvement!

I am very happy with these results! Are my real world driving results acceptable to substantiate my claims? I don't want to do ABBABAB testing.
