After using the Fia grill cover for two years, my observations have been;
No increase in MPG that I can tell, but,
It does keep the underhood temperatues warmer while setting at night and I'm sure that it helps the electric block warmer do it's job.
And it really cuts down on the road grime that gets all under the hood during the winter months, the air filter has stayed cleaner also :wink:

I got one for myself and now i notice that it gets up-to working temp fast with in a mile or so and the bug mesh will be good for summers.

I've ordered 1 and believe the advantage will be keeping the engine warmer & getting up to optimum temperature sooner. If it provides a boost in mileage great, but I don't expect it to.
