Thanks, AM. My tank average test run (166, the highway James Dean died on) has been a good place to test my Aspire. Breaking wind at 55, I steadily get 42 mpg heading east with one passenger at 3:30 pm. Heading west at 8:30 pm I get 38 every time. Today I cut two loops off of my front springs. My tank average for the east trip is 49! I know it isn't a Bonneville test or anything but I am happy to see the savings. I will make time for skirts and hub caps because I want to push 50.
