Description: Best trip average so far has been 48.5 mpg with no aeromods.
Build Thread:
Current Mods: Nut between the steering wheel and drivers seat - Neutral coasting, timing lights, using DFCO to break when traffic is heavy.
Weight Reduction
Removed the silencer box and pipe to the filter box. Minimal change in intake temps at cruising speed or while sitting as stock and what I have now both draw air from the engine compartment.

Planned Mods: Manual Steering swap for Power steering?
Coroplast underbody
Remove passenger wiper blade?
Remove passenger mirror?
Upper grill block - lower would be too hot for the engine, even during winter here
Smooth Wheel Covers - I just dont know about pizza pans
Rear Wheel skirts
Engine off coasting - eh, maybe
Boat tail?
13" VX Rims, I currently have newer tires though and don't want to was them, the also have a max pressure of only 35 psi! Bummer, Can't wait to replace them.

Keeping my A/C between humid downpours and hot days in traffic (in a suit), sometimes there is no choice in FL.
