A parking lot mishap damaged, and I ultimately had to remove, the splash shield on my Camry.
While I'd like to replace it, I don't want to spend the time and money right now, too many other things to do over the next month or so. Will the absence of the shield affect gas mileage at all? I imagine that it might, but only to a small degree at highway speeds and probably not at all while driving around town (low speeds, short trips). Will the absence of the shield cause the engine and engine compartment to get appreciably dirtier? Any thoughts or experiences with this type of situation? Thanks!
