Sorry crabbelle but I don't believe you. You're saying that you're getting over twice the distance with your tank than I am+ 6mpg better mileage towing than I do on steady highway...

Just 5000. Sorry, 24V-DSL, I'm not following your thinking here. I know the section in the Bible that you are talking about but you'll have to clue me in to how it pertains here.

Trusting the overhead computer?
Please post up how many gallons used over how many accurate miles clocked.

I agree were all looking to increase mpgs....don't forget the "tire size" adjustment in the calculation as most of us don't have the exact factory tire sizes.

Sounds like that might work. Your using your head. 8 spd tranny? I once looked into an overdrive gear box. It was way too expensive. It would take 5 years to pay out. How long did it, or will it, take to pay for your upgrades.
