After a few days of driving with this belly pan, I have some noticeable results. First, my FE increased from 43 to 45 mpg (5%). Awesome. Also, it takes longer to come to a stop. A few times when I had to brake hard, I didn't stop as quickly as I expected. I will have to retrain myself in this regard, it's a potential safety hazard.
Surprisingly, when driving in high cross-winds, the car feels less stable, like I'm blown harder side to side. I wasn't expecting that.
