I am really liking these last two mods. The WAI plus the now fully blocked grill seem to really be doing the trick. I can tell the WAI is reducing my max power output. On the trip to work and home, there are hills where I have to downshift to maintain speed. I am no longer able to maintain speed on them. I slowly loose speed. This is a good thing because that means my load is increased while cruising as well.

As for how that chalks up to MPG, I've been regularly achieving 50 mpg to work. When winter first set in, I was only able to get into the high 40s without really trying. Last tank mpg was 45. Now, I can top 50 mpg without much effort.
