Oh, and for the emblem removal, just use some scratchout, or the tike, to get the haze and adhesive off.

my overall MPG went from 22.7mpg to 24.2 mpg so a very slight increase in average MPG.

Well thats an increase in 1.5mpg, assuming 17 gallon tank capacity (range ~400), driving 15000mi/yr, and 3.60$/gal premium. So you get 25.5 extra miles (per tank), over 1 gallon saved per tank. At that rate, 37.5 gallons saved/year, so 135$/yr saved. Couple of years and it will pay for itself! Not accounting for time value of money and inflation haha. Anyways, sounds like a great idea!!

(Oh and you get the throaty response to startle pedestrians = priceless)
