Gas Mileage After LTs
Did anyone else notice a horrible decrease in MPG after installing headers? Maybe the computer needs time to adjust but it is just horrible. About 12 mpg I'm estimating as I haven't had a chance to fill it up and drive it, Just $10 and about 40 miles at most.

The 'puter should learn after 100-150 miles..mine did...less mileage due to heavy foot and ears wanting more sound..again and again..... looking at your mods..I wouldn't expect more than 15 mpg anyway.

I haven't been driving any different. I normally get about 15 in the city and atleast 22 on the highway, if not more. I got 26 on a trip to houston during this last summer.

You're probably running rich without a tune. If you truly aren't driving any different, you're unique in your ability to do so
