Default Better MPG

Anyone noticing an increase in mpg's after Inlet gasket change. Also, the rear bolts on the intake were hand tight (I noticed on removal), no doubt sucking air in. Now that all gaskets have been replaced and all bolts tightened to spec. I'm getting satisfactory mpg's, which makes me happy, the Disco was on it's way to be a trade-in. I'll post results after a few more tanks.


1st Tank after the repair. Fuel light on at 345 miles.
Fuel light on at 312 miles before.

2nd Tank: Fuel light on at 340 miles.

To much or not enough air getting in messes with the MPG as well as other things.
