Gas leak fixed- Improved MPG

Found gas leak over the weekend. It turns out I was right, in that it was loosing all the gas from the gas filler section all the way down to gas tank filler neck. That's quite a bit of gas that fits on that pipe section...

So with the leak fixed I topped off, and had my first good day since kammback install, and it's looking promising so far. Typically I've been using aprox. 1/3 tank on my daiy commute. Today it only used aprox 1/4 tank.. If this pattern holds true that would be a great improvement!

On another note, I lifted the car and counted tire revs vs engine revs while on 5th gear. And for every 1 engine rev my tires rotated only 0.75 revs aprox. Any coments on this?
