Made a day run into Houston towing a 5'x8' enclosed trailer. Installed the rear wheel skirts, opened up the lower grill block openings fer the dual transmission coolers, 33% upper grill block, and raised the hatch up on this run...indicated (empty) to Houston was 18.5mpg and 17.5mpg (loaded with ~200lbs). Actual total mileage was 17.98mpg. Speed set to 60mph. Moderate traffic coming back. No passengers this time.
