Thanks!! Wow, that's a lot of MPG. I'd assume your pipes had somethin' to do with that too, but that's still quite a hop!!! Good 4U!

I might do the swap just to say I could measure & tell for sure myself.

Nah, the pipes were the same size as what came off, and other than the X design having slightly less backpressure than the traditionaly "H" design, I doubt I'd get more than a 1/2 to a mpg on the highway from the pipes alone.

Thursday morning, I filled up. Drove all of 120mi before having to fill up again this morning. That should've been a third of a tank. But the light was on and the needle was solidly on E. Thought it might've been a bunk gauge... But nope, the pump gladly deposited into the van a full tank.

And then after I filled up this morning... I'm now down to a half tank again... After 30 miles. Where in the fsck is it going?!


1) gas merchant might be ripping you off
2) your gas reader might be out of tune, maybe you should check it out by a mechanic
