I did a simple cardboard grille block on a '97 dodge ram (which has a HUGE grille) and saw 2mpg, or about a 10% improvement. I did the same thing to my Chevette, which is shaped like a small brick and saw no improvement. So I think it depends on the vehicle. Grille blocks help some more than others.
