Default Throttle body. Millage gain

So at the beggin of this summer i put on a ZZP Stage1 Throttle Body and the performance gains where great but on a recent trip to get some fireworks (because Illinois sucks) i was crusing at 71 MPH for 90 percent of the time and i was getting 27.5 MPG for 225miles. That is just amazing to me. last summer when i went to Byron i was crusing at 70 MPH and only got 24 MPG.

So i guess i just wanted everyone to know that the throotle body is worth it for both performance and MPG increase.


Also i just remembered that when i went to byron i had my stock rims on which are less than half the wieght of the 20's which were on this trip. Just something else also to think about.
