Just wait.....the trails are coming!

Thanks anyway....I may just purchase one. The best I ever got around town when I bought mine was about 17, so not quite sure why you are getting that much better...but I would love to find out. Did your CAI help that much?

I just can't see 19-20 around town when it's not even rated for that...

. . . and I agree with you guys, $90 is ridiculous!! I got my Procomp Accu-Pro for like $160 in a deal I worked with 4WheelParts. If it weren't VIN locked to my Rubi, I'd let you borrow it to see if you'd want to purchase one for yourself.
Not making fun ....but do you drive like a grandpa?

19-20 mpg Were you being towed or shutting the engine off while going down hill with a tail wind behind you?
