I think the grill blocks are going to add some improvement to any car. How much of an improvement depends on the block itself and the car type. With all the testing on this site, most grill blocks have shown to increase mpg.

With my car, I am hoping to see a 1.0 mpg increase in city mileage and 2 mpg increase in hwy mileage. My city driving has a lot of 35-45 mph speed limits. With my ABA testing, I think these increases will be accurate.
