Ok, I'll be nice. 
I lost a couple MPG when we installed my 2.5" coil lift, but got it back with the addition of the air intake. Even after all the "stuff" I've bolted on to my JK, I'm still getting between 19-20 MPG around town so I'm not complaining.
I have recalibrated, but am not sure if that affects a manual as much as an automatic. I do try to use my cruise as much as possible, especially when I'm roaming around that big "secure" area in SW Madison county. By the way, before all the mods, the stock configuration consistently yielded 22-23 MPG.

Thanks anyway....I may just purchase one. The best I ever got around town when I bought mine was about 17, so not quite sure why you are getting that much better...but I would love to find out. Did your CAI help that much?
I just can't see 19-20 around town when it's not even rated for that...

I dropped by the dealership a couple of Sundays ago, and they told me Travis is no longer employed there. Hope he left on his own terms, and that he'll be able to join us on some of our weekend rides now. 
. . . and I agree with you guys, $90 is ridiculous!! I got my Procomp Accu-Pro for like $160 in a deal I worked with 4WheelParts. If it weren't VIN locked to my Rubi, I'd let you borrow it to see if you'd want to purchase one for yourself.

Were you being towed or shutting the engine off while going down hill with a tail wind behind you?
