I'll be filling up again in a couple of days, but so far, the ScanGauge is showing a 43 MPG average for this tank. - mixed city & highway.

However, I expect the actual fill-up figures to be a bit different, as there was a fairly big adjustment in the last ScanGauge calibration, some of it I question. (it was the tank that included the mechanic doing the compression test, removing the head to be re-built, then when it got ruined, removing again & having the whole engine replaced.) And then his co-hort kept test driving it & reporting that it would "smoke the tires", etc. So... the mileage on that tank - which resulted in the big ScanGauge adjustment for this tank - may have been - - - - weird.

Oh, it says you have a warm air intake? I've been contemplating that too. How did you do yours?
