Overall average speed 41.2mph. Moving average speed 41.5mph. 7 minutes of idle time stopped. Some "N" coasting. Timing lights. Windows up. 5psi max during accel. 50mph in 45-55mph zones. Doing speed limit in lower speed zones. Short filled last fill up by ~1 gallon so my mpg this tank should have been around 24.15mpg. |

Combo of 2 tanks. Random check engine lights causing truck to run horrable for approx 30% of miles driven. Max speeds hwy/city were 55/35mph. Harder accel from stops. 1hr idle time stopped. Overall avg speed was 42.9mph. Moving avg speed was 45.2mph. Performed fuel tank vent relocation mod to increase tank overall capacity. Some fuel lost in the process. Not really trying for any records this time. |

Same as tank #2 except overall avg speed was 40.9mph and moving avg was 42.4mph. Idle time was 35 minutes. 33 ohm resistor between signal wire and ground to fool map sensor into thinking it is getting less boost than actual. Sensing a max signal of 1.91v in cruise at 55mph going up the stepest grades in my commute. Tank #2 max sensed voltage was 2.32v. Slightly faster/quicker/harder than usual accel this tank to get up to speed. |

Max city/hwy was 35mph/55mph with torque converter locked for city driving and using cruise control on highway. Approx 90% hwy and 10% stop and go city. Overall avg speed was 39.6mph and moving average speed was 41.6mph. Idle time was approx 45min which was less than before due to more slowing for red lights and coming to a complete stop less often. Approx 10% of total miles were coasting in "N" with engine idleing. Grill blocked off 90%for entire tank with air filter relocated under truck for ambient air(High 60's-Low 90's). Windows down most of the miles driven. |
