I got 49.3 mpg round trip (46.1 & 52.5) on my usual 65 mile trip to see my fiance's and back. This is without my grill block and rear belly pan on BTW

I can tell this much from the UDP and A/C,P/S deletes. The car does get up to speed a bit quicker with less load, per SG. Cruising mpgs are higher, the engine revs up quicker and feels... better! One negative is that the alternator does not charge well at idle anymore. I expected this, but was still taken back slightly when my lights dimmed while EOnC.

All in all, it is a worthwhile mod IMO.
