Thanks, Phil! It should be easy to sell. It really is a nice car.

~30 gallons of gas. So tempting...
Not worth 30 gallons of gas for a cardboard + coroplast boat tail that won't fit your car properly! DIY, baby.

I posted the fancy test graphs and raw numbers in post #4 (which I had 'reserved' for that purpose when I started the thread).

You'll see in the first graph something that we haven't talked much about: the Kammback section on its own apparently made no difference vs. a bare back end. Very strange, this Civic. (More likely: not optimal, my handiwork.)
