Lunarhighway- not a bad idea!

i removed my cardboard wheel skirts. They did make an improvement, but i was too self conscious. I'm going to make some permanent ones out of some scrap plexiglass that my in-laws have. I'll feel a little better about that than my redneck looking job.

I should get the stuff in the next few weeks, I'll let you know how it goes then. If those skirts added 2%, then that would put me at a normal commute of 43mpg.

I've been folding in my mirrors lately, no cops have cared (like 20 have seen 'em).

After the wheel skirts, I'll do a rear bumper body pan kind of thing. If that gave 2% I'd be pushing 44mpg. I'd have to have a source of coroplast or plexiglass to do the bumper thing though.
