I've read several posts on the advisability of grill blocking to increase cold weather MPG, but I've found very little help on just how one goes about blocking the grill of the 2010 Prius. Are there after market kits custom fit to the '10 or are you simply shoving some material into the engine compartment to block air flow coming in. How is it actually done?

You searched? There is a great thread named something like "Grill Blocking Strategy". I let you try the search...

Well, to start with, I would read this post: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-...-strategy.html

I hope that helps...

Yes, I searched??? Thanks for the sarcasm and the HTT attitude. But, I will admit to missing the link for the aero-kits. Thanks Matt for the post.
