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.
I am surely it has to do something with ecm reset together with removing the charcoal filter, but you should tried it first with just reseting the ecm without removing the charcoal filter and see for yourself of the result. This is a " FREE MOD" that we can always go back to the stock if we dont believe and dont see any improvements and results.
