Had mine 2 months now...gas mileage is steadily improving, despite my foot getting heavier and the A/C running as the weather warms up. Started off at just a smidge over 17mpg. Next few tanks were in the 18s. My last tank that I just went through brought me to the low 19s. I'm happy as long as it keeps going in that direction!

By the way...put on your fire suit. You're 'bout to get flamed.

mine fluctuated pretty weird last 2 fillups.

first one i only got 220 miles on a full tank before the orange dot showed up.

second time around i got 330 driving the same routes.

its mostly all freeway with very little city driving. i just find it weird.
