Did you tune for the TB?
Wouldn't the TB allow more airflow and thus the computer is thinking your mileage dropped and thus is reading out a lower mileage on the DIC?
Did you actually record a lower mileage the old fashioned way?

No tune at all as yet. Paul ss.. You are correct and thats what we just got home from is a 40 mile run to see my job supervisor and the mileage is right up there where it usually runs. I just panicked thinking one of my most expensive, anticipated, and prettiest mods ( its a ported and polished tb) was gonna be good in the look and performance dept and then just flat out suck in the mileage dept. so end of story is i paniked and i love the new tb throttle is alot crisper and car seems to pull harder sooner.

but yes, litle88, you are an a$$

I like how this thread became more about litle8 being an a$$ than about fuel mileage.
