This is going to be a good tank, I'm at 140 miles so far and just starting to get to the "Full" mark.
Even if it took 6 gallons to fill it up now, which I doubt (more like 4 or 5 from the full mark) I'm up at least 3 mpg over this time last year.
The only difference this year than last is the rear bumper is pulled off, I have the lumina hub caps on and the 2nd row seats are gone.
Still having cross winds most days on the drive to work.
Biggest difference on the drive to work is now it runs 600'F EGTs to maintain 65mph when it use to take 1100'F to 1000'F EGTs.
The EGT probe is installed in the exhaust manifold before the turbo.
So putting the turbocharger on has been a huge success.
