Hi Weekend Warrior,

Thank you for the post! I have blocked both upper and lower grill openings and it sure made a great difference on mileage! I too have noticed no change in operating temperature, but I have noticed I'm adding water to the radiator reserve more often. I found a post where someone took a Chevy pickup air dam (S-10 variety) and mounted it below the front bumper, so I went to the auto wrecker and picked one up for $20 and all I had to do to mount it was drill a few mounting holes to the lower bumper cover. My MPG is close to yours and I have to auto transmission. It has a nice slapstick feature to it allowing me to coast downhill in neutral easily. I really want to do mirror deletes next, any ideas?

Best regards,

Bellevue Protege
