I'm not sure what will be next, I got some small vortex generator fins I will put on the taillights like the prius C but that probably won't give me much gains in the real world. It's starting to get warm enough to remove my winter intake so I will be working on refining my summer one that goes into the fender.

Finishing the undertray will be next but with only about 4 feet of the center floor left to cover, the main benefits are already being felt. The car is so stable now at high speeds which is exactly what I wanted but when I do slow down, the mpg gains really show.
🤔

Why...???

I run my exhaust heated intake year round. The hotter the air the better. Your computer will pull the fuel back to the correct air fuel ratio. Cooler air contains more oxygen thus more fuel will be needed to keep the correct ratio.

Is your mpg in Imperial or U.S. ?
