Hey, think a grille block can get 40 mpg in a '73 Buick Rivera with a 455 engine? ----- how about 30? ----- 20?

Seriously though - this made the car run WAY too hot. I was able to drive it long enough (one set -2-way - coast-down test) to determine it DID cut it's drag quite a bit, though...

(I don't know how to make the "thumbnail" bigger here)
