i didn't do anything special, or different then usual, that i know of, tracey thinks it may be because we didn't use the heat as much this time...i don't see how that can make a huge improvement, we don't usually use it a whole lot anyways to begin with

the only thing that makes sense to me, is possibly the computer learned the additional airflow from the ram-air & K&N filter...possibly
Oh, I meant to tell you. That's my two MPG. I left it on the counter at the diner the other day and haven't seen it since.

But, you can keep it if you can maintain it over the next few fill-ups. Keep track of the weather and try to see if something changes. Also keep track of the MPG "bad times" so you know whether or not your subsequent fill-ups are biased against this one.
