You're doing great. Keep up the good work. Aero is one of the multifaceted emphasis's of this site. People just like to see long term sustained results with documentation. There's nothing wrong with getting excited about the aero benefits you're seeing, but you would have more positive feedback with more information and more details about long term mileage gains.
