That's interesting. I just swapped out my plug wires to MSD 8.5mm. It's too early to be sure, but on a weekend trip, I got 14.4 mpg averaging 78 mph. That's too much improvement to be a result of the one change. Still, that's a better than 8% increase, plus that may be the highest average speed ever on a trip. Hard to believe, so the jury's still out.

The mileage is holding, I just checked again and got 16.3 mpg and have been doing some testing and running back and forth from town which is not that good for mileage. I got no bitch with 16.3 mpg and am actually surprised.

thats great greg, I have noticed mine come down a little to but I have been told that I am over due on changing out my sparkplugs so that is probably the reason why, When I went to the show friday night I was getting 18.3 but it was all flat driving with no traffic around 5 pm as you know there arn't to many hills or mts here
