Summary of Guage readings :

A gain of only .5 MPG. Assuming there is actually a gain and not some other variable rearing it's head.

Trip time : = @ 1.1 hrs

Distance : = @ 55.3 miles

Max speed run (B) gained 3 mph (essentially equal)

Average speed : = @ 49 mph

MPG (A) @ 50.5 MPG - (B) @ 51 MPG

So all in all not a biggie. One more run to go tomorrow.
Your test speed was 49 MPH which was nice for MPG, but I think a test at 60 and 70 MPH would show a much bigger improvement or difference, My guess is 1.5 MPG with a modest upper grill block on the top side, like 6" of blu tape for a test
