I had never seen the MB grille block before. I thought perhaps it was a European version, but i see the Illinois plates.
I'm reminded of a comment about ecomodding from another forum some years ago. It was something like " Stupid hypermilers ! If this #@!* really worked, automakers would have been doing it already. "

Funny you mention that, as I walked through the lot where I took the Kia picture the other day and saw another 2nd-gen Soul where both upper and lower grills were completely open. The Benz is, I think, the new C-class.
Edit: Just checked fueleconomy.gov--the regular Soul is rated 24/30/26, and the Soul Eco is rated 24/31/27.
