18 mpg. I don't know what happened. I was getting about 20-21. I didn't notice until all my mods were done. All I can think of is the plugs. Maybe they're off a bit. Anyone have any ideas?

cobrayankee: I"m just brainstorming here but it could possibly be the fact that you are running with the off road h-pipe on the 4.6. Is your "check engine" light coming on much? could be your emissions system messing with the engine. I don't know if you are using the MIL eliminators or not. Plus that's alot of backpressure loss w/out those cats but I'm not sure completely of it's significance. The only back pressure you have right now are the flowmasters. Just some thoughts.
