Yeah, if you're a leprechaun.

+3mpg? Did you change your driving habits any that would help contribute to that gain?
When I added a K&N Filtercharger to my '97 Tahoe I only saw an increase of 1.5-2 mpg. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well Drtyfn,
I am kind of small at 150lbs 5'9 maybe average I don't know. There is enough room for your knee on top of the filter box with one foot on the bumper sort of. I don't do a lot of work under the hood but was installing one of those (Tornado fuel things) in the air intake and the top of the Volant box was a nice resting place.

As for my driving habits no haven't really changed anything but I'm not a lead foot. On the frwy at 65-70 with level ground the average fuel reading is steady at 14mph the instant reading is bouncing around 15 to 17. I don't know if I trust the readings I should fill the tank and drive till the low fuel light comes on then fill back up and do the math to see what kind of actual mileage I'm getting but work has me pretty busy.
