Been a little while since I've posted an update. My MPG has fluctuated between 50.7 and 52.2 over the last 4 tanks, so not very good IMO. I put my smaller and lighter wheels back on for winter at the end of my last tank. My current tank is looking to be better than my previous 4, even with the colder weather and winter blend fuel.

I've decided that come spring, I will not be putting on my heave 18 inch wheels again, and will be looking for a light weight set, probably 17's.

I'll post another update in a few days to let you know how the smaller wheels are doing with the pan. I never ran them with the pan, so this should give me a rough guess of improvement, even though it is cold outside.
