Boy. The car pulls SOOOO HARD! It's screaming and for some reason, I feel that the exhaust got louder. LOL. It just doesnt stop moving and driving on the highway, I got a whopping 20.1 MPG at 80-90 mph drive. It screams down much lower and definitely worth it. Turn around time was only a few hours for me to get the file back from ESS. This is a definite NEED TO DO!!

on the highway in 7th gear cruising at 80-90 and not flooring it. Int the city driving it average, I got only 6.8 mpg driving in 1st and 2nd gear. Regular driving, I can get anywhere from 8.5 mpg to 11 mpg.
