UPDATE GAS MILEAGE :
I still can't believe it - but it looks like my MPG has actually improved ! I typicaly have the same exact commute : 42 miles total roundtrip from home to work. I get gas on the same 7 day cycle and so far I've noticed it takes less gallons to fill up ! Also the gas gauge is showing me more fuel left after my week when I go to fill up.
I know the mileage on the odometer is off due to the larger tires , even though I have compensated with the SCT for shifts etc... ( according to 5star the speedometer will still be off if the tire difference is more than 5% of the original ), but the total distance traveled in my week has not changed so I am using that as a factor when calculating my mpg.
I think it may actually have to do with the effective gear now having changed and since 90% of my commute and week is highway maybe it's doing it more effieciently. I'm barely turning 1600/1700 rpm at 60 something.
