I have one also. I can't say I saw any improvement, but I didn't lose any MPG either.

Have you changed your driving style? I know when I did an intake and exhaust on my hemi ram the skinny pedal was used more because it sounded awesome.

I havent been running mine long enough, maybe a month. But it seems millage is a little better instead of 11 I am at 14. But I am also running a superchips and have an AEV hood which keeps the engine cooler.
