Don't know what has changed but my last three fill-ups have shown about a four mile per gallon increase in mileage. I have about 3000 miles on the engine since the 103" build and cams. My dealer put Syn-3 oil back in after the build so maybe it's taken this long for the engine to "wear in". I was getting around 32-35 mpg and now it's 35-40 unless I really hammer it on the four lane.

I ordered the Lower Accent Panels last week from Champion. After looking at the on-line installation instructions it looks like a fairly easy install so I'm going to do it myself. Looks like the hardest part is raising the rear end and removing the wheels but I might be able to do it with the wheels on.......Has anyone installed these and is there anything I need to know before I start???
 
There is the possibility of winter/summer gas blends changing your mileage. Mine is always worse in the winter. I don't know if your area does that or not.
