I just filled up the Kia last night and this was the first fill up with the lower grill almost entirely blocked shy of a 5x5 square hole in the center.

Last time I filled up was with the initial small grill blocks I was at 41mpg with my normal route to work. My normal route to work is relatively flat and mostly highway.

Last night when I filled up, half of the miles on my tripometer were mostly hilly highway roads versus my normal flat drive to work.

When I filled up, I was shocked that my car achieved 43.95 mpg! I accredit this new high MPG to my Torque App, wheel covers, grill block and right foot discipline.

I'm excited to see what I get as MPGs with my normal flat highway drive to work!
