Hi,

I was looking at your mods and im going to try the grill block when i get some time.

The 20mpg im getting is mixed driving about 1/3 back country roads, 1/3 highway and 1/3 country route.

I have been driving the speed limit which really helped. Before i was doing 75 to 80mph on the highway and would get between 16 and 18.

I have taken off the roof rack crossbars but am not sure if it make any real difference.

Other than the reduction in speed, I cant really explain the good fuel economy.
