The AWD parasitic drag on all the drive-train when cold just kills the FE. After looking at my data logs I'm needing more HP at the wheels to keep at my cruise speed. ![Frown](/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif) So around 43mpg average is all the Mistfit Talon has in her.
My goal was 50 mpg, so I'm a ways off. So now its time to put all my energy into the Insight and get a game plan this weekend to see what I will do with it.

Is there nothing you can do aerowise? Maybe more hidden OEM looking mods? I'm thinking adjustable grill block, belly pan, tire splats.
