Before I put the 4.10's in, when I still had the 3.73's, I got 19 mpg on the freeway with the cruise control on. Now it's 17 mpg

Around town with the 3.73's it was 15 mpg, now it's 12-13 mpg. In a town where 91 octane is ~$2.50, that adds up over time.

I'm a little heavy on the gas. I caan get 16+ on the freeway and 14ish in the city. I thinkn I was getting a bit more before the Radix, but it wasn't as fun to drive so I wasn't as heavy footed.

Its an evil trap - you can get better mileage with it, but you won't because you cant lay off the throttle.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

FI does increase fuel economy as long as you keep your foot out of it.Yea right, fat chance of that happening.
