Ok an update on the performance of the current mods (skid plate, Roof rack removed and 4 out of 7 grill openings blocked). Traveled about 120 miles round trip up to Iowa Falls. Both trips are the full mileage driven up and back. Including several miles of in town driving. Which is why it's lower then I expected. I need to find time to run a highway only test.

TRIP UP
around 5pm. light wind (10-15mph) and light traffic.
24.1MPG

TRIP BACK

around 9pm. No wind light traffic and light pulse and glide.
25.6MPG

Just have to say the scan gauge is one of the best investments I've ever made. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting one to go for it! It's worth the money.
