OK, I'm getting addicted!! After re-reading some of the other posts, I'm seeing the wisdom of accumulating "small" improvements in addition to looking for the "low hanging fruit". So with folding the mirrors back yielding between 0.1 and 0.2 mpg on my initial test, then thinking about the roof rack delete yielding 0.4 to 0.46, I can't help but thinking the combined will be over 1/2 mpg. So I read-up on "mirror deletes" in the aerodynamics threads last night, and am now going to go see what I can find for inside mounted convex mirrors!!
Also starting to think about a partial belly pan from the bottom edge of the factory bumper/air dam to the front of the skid plate (which looks somewhat aerodynamic to me already).
Gotta get it up higher than 81st place for % over EPA in the "fleet". :-)
