I can tell you only what I have found. I changed absolutely nothing else except the side mirrors (Pizza pans we removed after one trip(45miles) because they fell off) on the car and gained 1-2 mpg with the last couple of tanks. Check my fuel data logs. The temps/humidity in Arkansas are not really fluctuating since we have hit the summer time pattern. We are seeing an avg of mid 90's during the days with high humidity.
