Default Did the Gotts Mod, Awesome MPG gain!!!!!!

i did the gotts mod a abt 2 weeks ago and around town i got 1 MPG better than normal. ok pretty sweet concerning i did it for $2.30 haha, what i really wanted to know is if i would get 1 MPG better on a 200 mile drive. went from bethany beach DE to Northern Maryland, and look what i ended up with vvvvvv.



All thanks to the gotts mod!!!!! Highly recommended when Highway economy is estimated at 18mpg.i stayed around 60-65 MPH.
my Gotts Mod vvvv.

It replaces the stock fender intake tubing. It makes it an inch better, allowing more airflow, which then can sometimes increase power and mpg.

The smoother the internal surface is the better. The rigid edges can cause air turbulence.

The mpg # on the dash is an approximation from the ecm. Usually not the same as a hand calculation. It is an impressive number to see on the dash!
