Brock- I may as well have put a wooden block under the pedal. I completely drove like a girl, I had blue hairs honking at me cause i was going to slow. For that tank I just didn't get on it at all, took my time getting to cruising speeds and so on. So no, I do not think that those changes brought that big of a jump. I drove about normal on the last tank of gas and went back down to 18.3mpg. I think a little less than 4 mpg gain is close to normal, maybe a little higher, with those changes. I still kept it below 70mph and never really took it above 2k rpm. I was realistically running maybe around 15 mpgs before.
REKCUT. I'm on my third tank now. I will let you know after this one what I averaged. I may make it 4 though. The last tank I did put 91 in at Costco. My mistake, but parents were paying cause I spent the day picking stuff up for them. Beggers can't be choosers!! I also let it run for about 3 hours while I was putting on the roof rack. I am in no way mentally challenged, just turned out that working in the dark hurt my time. Wasn't til the next day I figured out why I couldn't get the LARGER than the sun holes for the bolts lined up. The rack was bent on the whole right side. When the sun came out, we could see where it started and the rust that had formed on the rack itself! New one is on the way, and I say it will take no more than 10 minutes to screw in the 10mm allens.
