Luck me, I never had one problem with it. It ran like a top and got decent mileage on the road.
I'm 6'3" 235lb and would have liked the driver seat to go back 1 more inch.
I like to say that you didn't seat in a jag, you wore it like a glove. I did 2 13 hours day and felt tired but not worn out.
Ok... you never told us if you added a K&N air filter yet.

Seriously, this will actually help because it will require less effort for your engine to breathe.

Now, you have done everything that I did to my 2004 Dodge Dakota 4.7L V8. My goal was to get speed and stability. I went from 18 MPG on the interstate to 26 MPG all while doing 85MPH speed runs on I-10 in Texas. All of that said, if you can stay off the pedal, the car should give you good MPG.
