Was much better before the software change as we needed to refuel just before Seattle where before we could almost make the border. Could be in the 700 mile/tank club if I wanted to drain the tank dry.
'13 neutered, Manual trans, performance/handling tires, no mods, no drafting. Was running the lower grill block. Can't believe the slush box is costing that much efficiency.
Watching this because I'm going to steal what works if it's not intrusive to the wife particularly if it fixes the #@&%€ dirty as heck rear window. Lusting on adding a front splitter kit with added gurney flaps since they are only $80.

Not a slushbox, its the DSG, should have at least as good as a traditional manual.
Anyhow, yeah, $80 is starting to sound a bit high for the bigger pan to me too: I could get a piece of coroplast and some selftapping plastic screws for $10 at Lowe's and add on to the piece I already have, they aren't that different.
What did you use as a lower grill block, and did you have any temp issues? I don't drive my car hard often, but I'm leery of blocking off too much cooling and cooking the turbo: sometimes I get in to way more idling in traffic that I'd like.
