so was it my fault or the pump's fault or does a grill block give me 6-8mpg's(doubt it) since i live and FL so its normally hot

It may be that the pump filled the tank to a higher level than normal if it wasn't operating properly. The next fill should show a large increase if that's the case. I live in NC which also has a warm climate and I have my grill about 2/3 blocked, but I didn't see any significant rise in FE when I put the grill block on.
