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.
But Rone, Jedi mind tricks do work, I do them all the time and the Tundra is no exception. With the proper training a Jedi can make their truck get 20-25 mpg.
