17.7 MPG and rising !!?!
To say that I am excited to see mpgs actually go is an understatement. I did some major 100k PM (actual 90,022)but to see MPGs get better makes it all worth it. My List:
Timing Belt
Water pump
Thermostat
Spark Plugs- Denso Iridium
Fuel Pump- URD Kit Walbro fuel pump
Fuel filter- URD
Cleaned AFE CAI re-useable Air Filter
Cleaned Throttle body
Mobil One Oil n Filter
BG Fuel Injection Cleaning System
Amsoil Fluids in Front n Rear Diff n Transfer Case
reset system

4 months ago changed Transmission fluid

Wheel alignment

Its been years since I've seen numbers like this- before the lift n tires. If it stays I'll be one happy Owner!

I think the refineries have recently made the switch back to summer blend fuel because the last two tanks I've filled up have yielded close to 20 mpg again. I haven't seen that type of mileage since probably October or November.
