2 extra mpg happens with 1 cd drop. I def need to clean up the bottom front under tray and the whole middle shaft
I think the 'calculators' are a bit 'liberal.'
I gave you all the numbers for your car.
Removing one mirror would drop you about Cd 0.0075, or, Cd 0.2325 ( delta- 3.12% ).
No way you'd see mpg from that as reported.
just sayin'.
