Currently, I'm consistently getting 49-52 mpg on the highway. I have a goal of 60. So far, aerodynamically, I've only taken off the side mirror.
I didn't know these rear ends were so bad. 36% is huge!
Still interested in mods that would be aesthetically pleasing to the eye for a car like this.
On another note, and a new post in a day or so, I'm in the process of making a permanent grill block and I just finished a front belly pan. Belly pan took a couple hours to make. The grill block is a bit more complicated. I'll start a new thread when I take the time to download the pictures.
