So how is your gas mileage now? Do you have these blocks mounted in a way that if you get in an accident that you or someone else doesn't get a crushed head?
Sorry, this idea is FAIL!

Not worried about the mileage....but now the other issue DOES raise cause for concern.

it's not that much weight, the leaves shouldn't take too much of an impact... no worse than a 10 hour trip with a truck loaded to the max specs...
