This last tank was 37.3+ mpg. So, my fear of the past tank being a fluke is unfounded.

I am thinking about so many moments that fuel was wasted. I am now also obsessed getting the most out of my tanks. I never thought I could get this great of fuel economy on the Mustang. I think 600 mpt IS within reach, and my next two mods- rebuilding the underbody- and a lightweight aluminum driveshaft- should help me quite a bit. I think for the exterior of my vehicle, there is nothing more I can do.

I WOULD like to put hood vents in, like the 2013/2014 GTs- which would let engine air out- for the little getting in there.

I would also like side scoops just after the engine bay to pull air from the wheel wells, and/or engine bay.

But both are too expensive. The underbody is cheap, just hard work and logistics. The aluminum drive shaft is just having to spend 600 on it and install.
