it's not a spectacular increase in FE as i was hoping to reach the 7 liter limit, but i guess it can be explained that the cap's efficiency is multiplied greatly with speed. and i never exceed 90 km/h on highway (56 mph) so i must already be driving too efficiently for the cap to make a huge difference.
29mpg's for the first tank is pretty darn good I know when I started the aero mods on my Jeep, it took me a while to re-learn how soon I needed to take my foot off the gas to glide to a stop sign or what not. So I wouldn't be surprised if you can push it past 30mpg's.
