Thanks. Front grill block with hood vents + full bellypan + higher coolant temp 215*F gave me 5 mpg. Wheel skirts + vented rear bumper just 2-3 more mpg. I also removed everything from back area and trunk which really helping me with acceleration. I'm getting about 45-47 mpg at 55-60 mph.
I was thinking about taping my alloy rims with aluminum tape. What do you think about that?
