For the next three months, I will have the insurance OBD-2 port thingy, Automatic. I am aiming for the full 30% discount, which shouldn't be too hard since i'm already a hypermiler and am completely fine with driving slow. However, Automatic is making me change my driving style, I now accelerate slower and brake much slower. I used to shift at 2700 rpm when no one is in front of me, now its more like 2000 rpm. I also wont brake hard for fresh red lights anymore (momentum conservation). Since Automatic takes up the OBD-2 port, I won't be able to look at my scangauge anymore, so I can't drive with load as effectively anymore. And also, I end up waiting at red lights a lot longer looking for a big clearing so I don't get dinged for "hard acceleration". However, it will help me get better gas mileage due to me avoiding pretty much all driving except for my commute.

Added clear tape upper grill block. Already seeing faster warmup and higher intake temperatures.
