No, there are no Amsoil guys here to spam every thread so we're filling in for them.
In that case, could you please come up with something better than 0.3 mpg improvement?
Then again, this is like reverse bench racing... by all means, keep going
Follow my posts and you'll see that I said it's an insignificant improvement in mpg by doing the EGR delete.
General city driving, 35s, timing @ 6 degrees BTDC. Not really trying to conserve. 12.5mpg.
Tomorrow I'll do a Tahoe trip. Maybe I'll report back.

necro post...
yesterday while driving to work i noticed the fuel gauge was just below the 1/4 tank mark with no fuel light. it took 18.xx gallons but i only had 200 miles on the clock. does this sound normal? im running 33" km2's without a lift. (just havnt installed it yet) from what i read is that the light should come on whe theres 5 gallons +- left, correct? with those numbers im getting around 11 mpg. is this normal? i currently emailed cdan for cap and rotor and will be replacing the plugs. i have no idea how they look right now...

light comes on at or below E, usually below, when there is roughly 5 gallons left. dont forget to correct mileage for increase in tire size, for you i think its an extra 5%. 11 is pretty bad i think in warm climates/summer when the fuel blend is more advantageous
I have the Hybrid Synergy Drive sticker on the back of my 80 so I'm sure that I'm getting around 35MPG now. I don't even bother measuring MPG anymore, that's how confident I am in this technology.
12 MPG in mixed driving
13.4 in 75 MPH highway cruising with a load and A/C on.
35's, stock gears - numbers above after adjusting for tires

Round trip for that was almost 15mpg. that was just mrs surfpig and me on a little day trip.
Two weeks ago we went camping up HWY4, whole family, pretty loaded down. A little bit of dirt road wheeling. About 11mpg. One fillup had that danged 10% ethanol gas though, so that may have had a significant impact.
How is this possible? Is your timing advanced? What ?
I have a new 4.5l and new trans in my LX with 35 mud terrains and a 2.5" lift. My egr system is new and no codes. No vaccum leaks either. I get 12.5 with maybe 1mpg variance on 87 octane.
I've been more around 10.9 in mixed, mostly city, driving lately. Just replaced O2 sensors and cats so I am curious if it will make a difference on upcoming tanks. I'd be happy to get to 12 in mixed driving
Stickers
Imagine my disappointment
I get 13 mpg consistently with 295s, riding in town and slowly in woods with A/C crankin.
190k, 4.88's, 35" on 16x10 alloy, full rack, ArB front, 4x4 labs rear, sliders, winch, drawers
10mpg or 250mi in a tank.
