Thanks!

I should rephrase: I haven't been able to crack 32-33mpg on the highway, but with any luck, I may be able to. If I can move my average FE up to 35mpg, I'll save ~$100/year at $4.20/gal. When my girlfriend came home, and I told her what I did to my car this afternoon, she said, "you are so weird," but was much more understanding when I explained the savings.

I should get some more coroplast and stealthily mod her Intrepid-- it's already pretty clean, aerodynamically (.28 cD), but some more air in the tires, a bit of well-placed coroplast, and convincing her that every trip isn't a race would do her wonders.
