Maybe? Sorry - I don't have a good answer for you on this one. Art may have a better feel.

On the MPG topic, I crunched the numbers from my recent trip from Anchorage, AK to Haines, AK and back - ~1600 miles total. High mpg was about 29 mpg and change, low was a day of driving around Haines - mostly in town - at 19 mpg. I'll blame the 19 on lots of hills. The overall average for the trip was about 26 mpg, taking the per-tank MPG average. I was trying to come up with a better means to arrive at a weighted average... but didn't spend too much time playing with the numbers. Any suggestions?

I haven't done nearly the same set of modifications that you have - '90 245, 933 ecu, no belly pan, standard fan and airbox, dino oil, 195/75R14's, E-Codes (big MPG gain there!)... maybe there was just a good tailwind. Or the two-lane highway nature of the road kept the speeds more reasonable - 55-65 mph most of the way.
