I want to use your data for a CAI/rammed air ecomodder wiki for diesels.
Don't want people thinking they should be putting a warm air or hot air intake on their diesels for FE.

I still haven't gotten around to doing any A-B-A testing, but I still agree with what I posted earlier:

As far as the FE numbers, I think there is an advantage. My average of the last ~600 miles with the ram CAI installed, I've averaged 50.28 mpg on the overhead. This is a 4.1% improvement over 48.29 mpg for the previous 600 miles. Both periods had similar tempeatures (79 deg F avg temp). I don't think it's fair, however, to ascribe the whole 4.1% improvement to the intake. Recently, I've really racheted up the hypermiling intensity in an effort to break the single tank range record. If I had to guess, I'd say probably 1% FE improvement from the intake, but it's hard to say much of anything definitative about such small differences.
