I've been meaning to put wheel skirts on my Wagon for years. Not only for aero, but also to hide the rust!

Do you know if that made any difference in MPG? Tuft testing showed me smooth airflow over the hood, so I didn't consider doing anything with the bumper/hood transition. I do have the upper grill slot blocked from behind.

Im not a hundred percent sure if that help or if it was the air dam and grill block that helped with the wind around here its hard to do much reliable testing. I did all the mods to the front at the same time and all of em together did help quite a bit (3ish mpg improvement)

I haven't seen much increase in fuel consumption with the colder weather, so I guess it's working. I've only had one fill since putting it on. A highway trip. And I did almost as good as I did on the same trip in the summer. It's not hurting anyway.
