I save about $50/month in gas vs EPA, so I see that as an extra $50/month allowance to ecomod.
As long as I don't spend more than $50/month on eco mods...I'm good!

Alternatively, you can think of it in comparison to options or aftermarket parts for your car. Often times mods to increase power end up costing 50-100 dollars per hp, sometimes more. Bling bling spoilers, wheels, skirts, bumpers, lips, etc. all run hundreds to thousands each.
If you can make some lawn edging look like it belongs there for 20 bucks, then aside from any possible benefits to your car it is already worth it
A bellypan that has secure mounting probably doesn't pay for itself either, but looking at the belly of your car and seeing no gaping holes and exposed frame/suspension/drivetrain is priceless. A nice exhaust would run an even higher bill, it's all in good fun and for the love of engineering and cars.
