Your gearing is burning up a bit more then mine but not 5+ mpg worth thats for sure. All I know is that I love not having to stop for gas on long trips. Maybe its got something to do with all the hours Louis (LGM) put into my tune.
What exhaust are you running ?? What Heads ??

Sorry I was asking the question to RobG03Z06 . I must have confused you with my wording of the question.
