Kevin,
The MPG decrease resides on the users foot...not the IAT Adjuster. As for the
temperature settings, they vary from 30 - 80 degrees for the conditions,
vehicle mods, and driver's driving style. During Closed-Loop operation, the
PCM (in conjuction with the O2 sensors) takes care of the fuel
enrichment...only in Open-Loop does the IAT adjuster really ""strut its stuff".
