PPS: Your aero mod shows that the vehicle did not need nearly so large a cooling intake as the factory evidently thought. After all, you covered >~2/3 of the nose intake area without overheating the vehicle, even in summer, right? We may infer from this that you're smarter than the factory guys.

Add a few more low-hanging fruit mods (plastic garden edging air dam, Prius-like wheel fairings, etc.) as are common on this website, and I'd bet you exceed factory fuel economy specs by 20-25%.
