There is NO way removing the carbon filter increased your fuel mileage by that much. Absolutely no way. I think you subconsciously biased your test by
wanting to get better mileage and thus changed your driving habits to see how good of mileage you
could get after this mod. This is a very common bias in all experiments, and is one of the very fist things you discuss in epidemiology and statistics courses. Short of doing a "blinded" experiment, everyone is going to notice an increase in throttle response because that's what they think they're supposed to notice. Just like giving a placebo.
