Definitely going to have to do this. I do mainly suburban driving and normally only average 18 mpg, which isn't bad, but it isn't as good as I'd like to see. I track my mileage too, religiously, so I'll be interested to see what kind of returns I get.

The bar itself was fine. I originally decided to keep the engine cover on with the stb but later removed it and that seemed to be the problem.
Before this was done I had no issues with idling but car feels even more smoother now with better response when I press on the gas. Well worth it IMO

so u claiming u get deep into the 400's? i call shenanigans. i drove my car back from atlanta at 2,400 rpm the WHOLE way just to see what my mileage was. i got back into Memphis at about 390 and the light had been on for like 40 mins or so. only stopped once and wasn't running the a/c, NO back seat,NO trunk interior, and on stock 16's so i doubt you got DEEP into the 400's ESPECIALLY ON 19'S. yeah 400 is possible but not deep into them and not with that setup
best i did was the aformentioned trip above got like 24 i think
um, your a teenager!!!!
....they cant help but stare to see whose making all the racket and trying to be cool with what im sure they believe to be your parents car 
hehehe

For the ones that don't, they can ask the others who do know me. I was always the kid with the cool cars in high school... out of the 4800 students that went there.

Well i just cleaned my MAF and went ahead and cleaned my throttle body too. But noticed that when i pulled the acceleration mechanism(where cable is hooked to) all the way(WOT), the butterfly inside doesnt open fully all the way...is this normal? Is there a sensor that knows when you stomp on the gas to open the butterfly WOT?
