MPG increase after TB install

Well, I've put four tanks of gas through the Dak since installing my Quick-D
TB, and my mileage has gone up by an even 2 MPG (went from 13+ to 15+ in the
city). This is with the addition of a camper shell as well.

This was the finishing mod in the intake/exhaust chain, along with cold air
intake, JBA headers and Flowmaster muffler. I don't know all the mechanics
of it, but I' d guess it's more likely that putting that final piece in
place is responsible for the gains (getting rid of the last major
restriction) rather than just the TB, but I don't know... what do you more
knowledgeable people think?

I'm not complaining, though!
