OK, My 2007 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 5.7l with 11700 miles. Last night I ripped out the HC filter and disconnected the battery. On my drive to Boston this morning my computer showed 19.4MPG when it normaly shows 17.2-17.5. I know some of it has to do with the battery disconnect and the the computer working out the MPG new from scratch, but that is a big jump.
When I get back from my trip and drive home, I hope to see the MPG's stay the same.
The 19.4 came from a mix of city and highway at 65-75 while on the highway and 25-40 city. Total trip length was 63 miles. Not a true test by any means, but a start.

Will let you know more latter.
