Some data I've acquired after installing my home made intake...
Engine load is just slightly down at cruise(43-45%), meaning that on flat ground, I can cruise at 50mph, at an instant reading of 50.0mpg or more, or 46-50mpg at 55mph...
Hills can be managed with less throttle, or a further distance maintained while still in overdrive, TC locked status...
On my usual work commute, I've been consistently averaging ~42mpg indicated since the intake install, in sixty degree weather..
... And on my benchmark trip, from Flatwoods to home(on WV-4 and CR-23), I averaged a record shattering 53.4mpg indicated, in 93 degree weather...
I now find myself accidentally going too fast in places I used to be fine cruising at 50/55mph, and nailing the ever smaller throttle angle at cruise is getting difficult...
If the car weren't drive by wire, I would be seriously considering a hand throttle by now...
