John, I used the same 6/32 bolt through a 1"X1" by 1 1/2" aluminum angle as was used on the fender skirts, except they are attached to the bottom of the belly pan. So you have a "stud" to place the side skirt on and attach it with a 6/32 nylok nut on the outside.

My primary hypermile techniques are DWL and EOC. I have an advantage in that I travel the same 54 mile route each day. So when I am not able to EOC, I DWL on all the rest of the route, I practice different speeds and momentum to get the very best MPG according to my MPGuino. If the "Guido" doesn't say it's the best MPG, I try whatever speed will get the best MPG depending on the traffic flow around me.

Except when going through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear starts from a complete stop, my goal is to never show less than 50 MPG on the "Guido". Remember, I have a 92 VX with lead burn, so I always try to stay in Lean burn.
