    Yea, the crawdads were gooooo :D

    It's not too bad. I was getting right at 20mpg on the highway, but now i'm only getting 17mpg. The really bad part is when I hook up the boat now ... OMG ... it's like 14mpg when towing. And it's only an 18' bass boat.

    I'm looking at getting a chip, CAI, and some reprogramming to try and get as much as I can back.
