MPGomatic, remember - In the GGP, modded class cars have a 50 psi limit on tire pressure. Stock cars are limited to 40 psi. So you could make a case that doing ANYTHING to make it a modded car, thus allowing higher tire pressure, is worth it! I saw Slambo's mods list - I'm sure some of your aero work pays off in mpg. Avg track speed is 45 but you spend plenty time between 45-55. I have no doubt that aero improvements help in the Green Grand Prix.

Of course if there are other reasons you can't realistically join us - that's cool.
