After a hiatus from the site and a lot of driving, I finally decided to install underbody panels. I track my own mileage in a spreadsheet and since I bought this car in February, I have driven 22,473 miles or 97.5 miles per day. Lifetime average is 37.7 MPG. On the highway, I typically make several hundred mile trips and really need to get there over saving gas so I average around 78. I have been thinking about installing the underbody panels to clean up the underside and hopefully eek out another mpg.

I picked up a white sheet of coroplast from the sign shop and I found some aluminum tile finish strips from Lowes for $1.44 each on clearance. These have plenty of holes and are stiff so they provide plenty of rigidity. Zip ties provide attachment. I'll post a finished photo when I can take one but here are the two I took. Overall investment is about $25 and a half a day.
