Good, thx. Running 1200 highway miles this past weekend with the Odyssey upper grill blocked and over 90 degrees ambient temps, I usually saw 120-124 degree intake air temp on my scangauge (and coolant temps of 190 to 217). That plus a lot of time spent at altitude of over 2000 feet must've really thinned out the intake air, but no problems. The van delivered 24 mpg steady at speeds of 75-80 mph for 300+ mile stretches. Not bad for an engine with 226k on the clock!
