That is a deal just for the drivetrain.

I have to agree with FrankLee.

I can get my civic to read 120mpg at 50 for a couple miles on what appears to be level highway ground.

That would be great. If it is in fact on top of the canister then I am simply missing the connector that's hiding behind the intake.

It was a late night and could easily be over looking it.
