Proguard skid plate decreases fuel consumption

Ok, here's the (amazing) report.

1 Going from Snow Shoe to Barry's Via I-80 meeting the guys and convoy to just South of Detroit =26.9 mpg

2 filling up in Detroit to Greenfield, OH, via back roads from I-75 to Columbus & Greenfield) =25 mpg

3 Fill tank at Athens, OH to Home via US 50 , I-79, I-68, =29.02 MPG.

Overall average = 26.97 MPG

I'd guess Dennis is gonna have a tough time keeping these things in stock.

Other than the Shiney Hiney, and the Pro Guard, my '04 MM (Dec '03 build date)has no mods.

Before all of my mods I'd get almost 26 MPG on long highway cruises. Like 25 MPG and change.

I'd be interested to hear what kind of MPG people with 4.10 gears and such are getting with the ProGuard.

That is some impressive gas mileage, what were you getting prior to Pro Guard???Smokie, it was in the 23 ~ 24 range, before the install, also, remember, the last half of the trip from Barry's to detroit was, shall we say, somewhat spirited, and I was last in line, as usual, so there were a few times I was on it, trying to keep up with that darned Charlie.
:drive:

Jerry Barnes is gonna order one to see if there's any effect on the drag strip. I think I know the answer. ;)

Take a look at the area between the fuel tank and the bumper. The damned thing looks like a drag chute. :eek:

Mike - Sounds great. :D I couldn't get more than 24 MPG with my stock Marauder.
