I left mine alone for about 6-8 months & averaged 16.2 mpg. (auto trans) I just reset mine after getting my CAI & tune and switching to synthetic oil........I'm right at 19 for the moment, but that was after a 600 mile roadtrip.

Hey, where did you order your Roush spings from? I ordered mine from stage3 & still have not gotten them yet, it's been almost two weeks & they have not shipped?

Thanks.

Same place, but thru ebay. I had them in 4 business days or so.
I did notice last week they didnt show the rears for sale. Still dont, but show the fronts twice, lol. This is on there ebay store tho. On thier own site they do list them. but dont show if in stock or not. Maybe they are waiting for a restock.

When I bought mine it was (quantity left) (1)set.

Send em an email, or check order status, or call them up. http://www.stage3motorsports.com/contact_us.cgis

I reset mine all the time. I reset it on the fly if I'm off on a road trip, or, wondering about the MPG for the trip I'm on. Funny how fast that little sucker can change going up and down hills. Must be accurate, I always check my "Gallons Used" when I refil and reset it. More often than not my fill up gallons is just a very wee bit off the "Gallons Used" numbers.

I'm an avid Quicken user. I have four vehicles. Each has its own Quicken accounts for Service and fuel. When I buy Fuel, I always put gallons purchased to the nearet "tenth" and miles on the odometer.
