Ok, so the results of the first part of the test, driving the 300 miles at 65mph with cruise control and no hypermiling. The result was my best ever gas mileage 37.29 with no aero-mods. I plan to add my fog lamp covers, upper and lower grill blocks and then drive the 300 miles again next week (same direction for consistency).

I understand this test does have variables, such as wind, weather, other vehicles, construction. I believe over the course of 300 miles, traveling the same direction on any two weeks, pending a hurricane of course I figure the variables will more or less cancel out.

Any thoughts on the test?
