So far the fan has not come on, it is so cold outside (today was -4 all morning, tomorrow will be colder) that it stays pretty cool. That being said im sure when it warms up ill have to modify the lower grill block in order to prevent the fan from activating all the time. Thus far my best trip tank was, 11.0 miles; 54.5 mpg, with an avg mph of 37.1. I'm thinking with the addition of my wheel covers, tire pressures going up to 50 with LRR tires, and the full underbody paneling I can make 50mpg tank this summer
Also right now would be the best time to do it. This is a brand new car with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty to cover a blown engine should it happen. Its like the service manager at the dealership told me, "Drive it like you want to while its under warranty its better to have something go wrong while it is still covered."
