My most recent tank wax 63.6-something. I don't know how much more I can get out of it bone stock, though.
Especially since my tank speed averages are in the ~25 MPH range according to the scangauge (when my commute is 80% highway)

For winter, I'd probably mostly or entirely block the bottom section too. You'll have to watch the SG to make sure your coolant temps don't go too high and since you drive some city (IIRC) listen for your radiator fan when you come to stops. If its kicking in a lot you have too much blocked. The fan will start kicking in so much that it'll negate the benefits of the block. Grill blocks are a great place to start though.

Hi Daox--
I'm thinking of getting a second SG to give me more gauges to watch
although in terms of MPG I think I'm trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip by this point.
Off topic, have you been to CleanMPG lately? The economy run idea you and I started has become quite a monster.
