Default Re: Increase mpg easy

Let me start by saying that I am honestly keeping an open mind about this test and have been monitoring my MPG for the last two tanks of fuel (I figured, 'what the hell'). The process I have been using to calculate my MPG is pretty simple; fill up, reset trip-o-meter, drive 'til near empty, re-fill tank, divide the distance on the trip-o-meter by the amount of gallons added...repeat.

So...my SF28 (aka 'Moon Rocks') arrived today in the mail...in a denim pouch...



...mind still open, but for the remainder of this test I will be referring to the product as the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

The game plan:
  • Finish three tanks of gas (currently on my 2nd), monitoring my MPG for each
  • Average my MPG
  • Test my emissions (I'm due in August anyway)
  • Install Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator on the gas tank
  • Run another three tanks of gas, monitoring my MPG
  • If the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator produces results in MPG and performance I'll retest my emissions and compare the results

I'll report back here as I progress.

UPDATE: My last three tanks of gas yielded the following MPG (NOTE: this is WITHOUT the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator):

1st Tank: 11.3 (this is my typically MPG since installing the 37s, 4.56 gears, exhaust and CAI)
2nd Tank: 11.1 (got a bit hotter that week, so I used the AC a bit)
3rd Tank: 10.7 (been hotter then hell most days...I used the AC nearly this whole tank)

I had the truck's emissions test performed Saturday morning with the following results:

Emissions Readings:
HC(ppm): 6 (MD state standards: 100)
CO%: 0.01 (MD state standards: 0.75)

SIDE NOTE: I've never paid attention to the emissions reports before and was very surprised to see that the truck's numbers were so low. Someone should tell the huggers...

I installed the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator Saturday evening. I bungied the demin sack to the top of the gas tank where the fuel line felt like it exited...as instructed. I capped off my tank, reset my trip-o-meter...LET THE TEST BEGIN.

Updates will be forthcoming.

1st tank: 11.1
2nd tank: 11.3
3rd tank: (working on that now)

The 2nd tank surprised me because I spent 150 miles towing my 5x8 with ATV through the mountains of western Maryland. I was using the Towing feature; the truck had noticeably different shift points and it was obvious that the extra weight was there. I expected this tank to yield much lower MPG due to the hauling, but it came out .2 higher.
