Steel Front Bumper

I have been driving without a front bumper for the last couple of weeks and I have been noticing that it is impacting my fuel mileage. I only average about 21 mpg now, and only around 22-23 mpg on the highway. I am wondering on how much of an improvement that this bumper that I purchased will have over no bumper at all. I will be getting the front hitch receiver however I will be buying a plug for it. I will also be welding a hoop on it for extra protection. For those of you who don't know what that is, I included a picture of one. It is the tube steel that is welded on to the bumper. The one I will be making will not be above the hood, but will look similar. The other difference is that the entire hoop will be made of tube steel.
