I did see a noticeable increase in horsepower and on the hills of the shifting was much better. I didn't notice any increase in fuel economy but that wasn't what I was looking for. I averaged 10.7 mpg for the trip which I think is actually pretty good pulling a car.
Amazing! I would be happy to get that without pulling a car. I didn't figure my actual mileage on my last trip but the computer would say I could travel around 550 miles or so on 80 gallons when I was pulling a car which would work out to about 7 mpg or so. I know I used a lot of gas and never traveled over 60mph. I haven't taken a long trip without pulling a car yet, but plan to make a 1000 mile trip in a month without pulling a car. I hope I can get 10mpg or better on that highway trip.
