I am reminded of basjoos saying that he saw/felt a difference when he put his nose on the Aerocivic. You can't tell until you try. Good work.

It's hard to say without being able to ABA test it. I really feel that is the only way to be scientifically accurate about any modifications. Once I get the mounting situation a little better (not requiring the existing bumper or fenders) I WILL be ABA testing this nose. It's going to be a little while before I can do that though.
However, that being said, I'm 51.5mpg so far on this tank (which is slightly better than my last 3-tank avg), and this has been the only significant change to the car. Still driving pretty much the way I always do. I'm trying to be as impartial as I can.
