Ugly ways as in difficulty in removing or damage? Because who cares how the caulk looks after removing; we can just apply more.

I AM LOVING MY CIVIC.

Today's 3 trips averaged out to a whopping 49.5 MPG with one of the 3 trips being 52.5 MPG!!! Trips were 46.5 mpg (14.2 miles), 52.5 mpg (18.6 miles), and 47.8 mpg (5.7 miles), in order.

Not bad for an automatic with no engine modifications. Summer gas and warmer weather are definitely doing their part, but I can still tell the mods are helping too. Half the time I was literally cruising at 55-60+ mpg, and I had several stretches that were 70+ mpg despite being relatively flat and with only a slight, barely noticeable breeze. These mods are helping me coast SO much further too.

I need to redo my speed vs. MPG chart. That was in cold weather. But that would require demodding my vehicle, which I refuse to do until whenever I get around to improving the aesthetics of my mods.

Tank is now up to 45 MPG!
