Thanks for posting Taco. I've got all of my CX-5 blocked except for a 1 inch slit 6 inches wide. My only means of monitoring temp is if the cooling fans come on or not. So far I can't detect any cooling fan activity and I've been running my AC for defogging alot too. We've been in the high twenties low thirties here and my mileage is way down from normal. Right off the highway I'm up to 36.7 from 32 mpg pure city at the beginning of my tank. So far I think I'm bleeding enough heat toward the passenger compartment to have it work but I'll probably need to open it up more to be able to modulate it more.
