    Oh, so I should be safe! The temperature when I left was 32 degrees. It is now almost 60. I would've been a little annoyed if I had to remove it within one day. :p

    Thanks again! 52.5 mpg in 32 degree weather with just the top grills blocked is a little absurd. I'm very happy with these results. :)

    Yes, that is absurd, but you just keep on it! I've been maintaining 45 with the grill blocked. Although my last tank was an absolutely dismal 37. I don't what happened there...

    It's hard to maintain MPG with multiple drivers, and my better half has a lead foot. She has told me however, that even she notices a difference with the grill block.

    Here's the MFD in the afternoon after my commute (30-some miles round trip).

    :eek:

    ***An EBH would probably put that over 60, I'd think . . .
