Hi list

Did some on the road driving this weekend.

It was the first since JBA's wre installed.

The "seat of the pants" feel was that it took less
throttle to cruise down the road.Also the truck seemed to
stay in overdrive and down shift less than before.

A run from Phoenix to Wickenberg to Prescott to Ashfork to Parks to
Kachina Village off ramp(this included mountain grades,switchbacks, and
freeway) ...274 miles, took 16 gallons...17.125mpg

Down the hill from Flagstaff to Phoenix was 124 miles, took 5.88
gallons.

Both times the tank was filled exactly to the same level.

That comes to a 21.088 mpg.Speeds may have been +10/15 over posted
but hardly ever under posted.

In conclusion, the JBA's gave us about 2/10's at the strip, but
the seat of the pants at cruise is apparently very real.
