So far, based solely on observation, I think I've actually gotten worse MPG's. I'm only going on my average mileage by the time I get to 1/2 tank on the gauge, which isn't wholly accurate, but so far it's off by about 50 miles.

If I had to chance a guess, I'd say I'm either getting close to the same old 27.5 ish, or maybe a little less.

Anyone care to submit some analysis of the situation?
