Anything wrong with using air conditioner weather seal foam for grill blocks? It fits nice & snugly in both the upper & lower grill, but not sure if any downsides to using this type of material?

If OK, can't wait to test results coming back from Charlotte NC to Manassas VA tomorrow. Driving down with a good headwind I was struggling to break 40 even with speeds of ~60 on Rt 29. (No trip to Charlotte is complete without driving through Tightsqueeze, VA & then through Danville to scoop up some $2.99 gas--woo hoo)

Amazingly MPG's jumped to 41 @ ~70 MPH with cross wind. Unfortunately going under 65-70 on I-85 is almost a death wish
