So far I haven't seen a big change in the MPG but it feels like it coasts farther. I decided to start here because it's one of the easier mods you can do. Especially if you use the heat shrink plastic trick I've seen.

One thing I have noticed is it gets up to full temp (around 210 degrees) a heck of a lot sooner, which I hear is good.

I would recommend other then winter to only do a partial block, I filled 5 of the 7 holes. I've seen a few days in the 90 degree mark, and just watching the temp gauge I'd say if it gets too much warmer I might take one off. Last week I took it out on the highway for about 60miles at about 85-90degrees and it was rock solid at 210.
