Hm, no say. I do recall that the V8's turn off two of their cylinders when cruising on the highway, maybe that has something to do with it? Either goo for you though.

Result: 27.5 MPG. I am considering the Roto-Fab intake, along with two others, so maybe I can repeat the trip someday with the mod.
Perfect, more data is always welcome!

The faster you go, the more performance will be noticed with this mod.

In the city, you clearly notice a differance once your close to 60kmph (40mph). I can now easily chirp going into 2nd off the line in manual mode. This was something I always had problems doing and could only do in sport auto mode.

The adm and relocation provides anywhere from 5-20hp depending on what speed your doing.

Nice, so it seems that there isn't a difference from regular to premium. I wonder if the colder weather bumped up your gas mileage?

Is anybody under the impression that this engine is adding more timing advance (or less retard) by you using higher than 87 octane fuel? It was designed to run on 87.

If responding to sentence number one, can you point me to a thread that shows it definitively?

And for those of you having a mindset that "premium is ALWAYS better," what are you basing that on? (Psst...it's not true...)
