I can see some of these Aero improvements in my near future. I too have a brick, 01' Power Stroke Excursion! Our personal best is 18.2 at 65mph all the way to the Oregon coast from Northern Idaho. What a fun trip, I squeezed 750 miles out of that tank full I got 41.2 gallons stuffed into the 44gal tank!! We had big headwinds and cross winds going through the Dales nearly the entire way, but fantastic mileage for us! Now to see what we can get with a slick belly pan, fold in the passenger mirror and a 18"-24" Kamma...if I can figure out how to get it on the rear with the 3 split rear doors! I was not able to post a picture of it, i'll attempt to do that later...i couldn't remember how to do that actually... :{)
