I am getting 23.5 MPG without the 15%...I am scared to see what my average MPG will be in a week.
For some bizarre reason, I get the BEST mileage when I'm in Chuck's speed range. I think it has something to do with gamma ray conversion efficiency of the flux capacitor, but I'm not sure.

Well, there was some anectdotal data a few years ago when the 15%s were becoming more widespread that the mileage increased with the smaller pulley. Someone was of the opinion that the phenomenon was due to folks shifting earlier because of the increased low-end torque with the new pulley.
So, you may be getting better mileage soon.

Im at 'work' now but I will post them some time this weekend. I don't get home until 10:00 tonight. 
No I didn't have to heat them. I did manage to break tabs on both of my chrome ones when I was taking them off, so I won't be getting the core charge back...oh well...it is definitely worth it! That glue does have a 'kung fu grip' as Lyle said in his directions. He never mentioned anything about heating in his instructions either....
I would have to say that the b/o headlamp rings made a bigger aesthetic change to the car then the M7 ultimate grills did.
This morning after parking the car I took a good look at it from a few feet away and it looks awesome!

your car.
I guess the one thing i would like to try is thatjoey mod on the lamps...but not sure if i can make it seal correctly
after im done painting...
you should seriously consider the SprayOn CarWash. thing is prettygood. just use a lot of product and towels.
im considering thegallon bottle next time. for me it's great cause i dont wash my car often.
infact, i haven't washed my MCS yet this season.

I'll just start stealth washing....
sprayhead (especially for Clarity), the continous refilling over and over
cause it stops working correctly once it passes the 1/2 way point.

Griot's bottles RULE, especially now that they replaced their two-part bottles with the kind that has no seams.

Yeah... you can. That way you can buy their gallon jugs of stuff and have bottles to fill up. I fool them and fill them up with Prima stuff. Well... and their Wheel Cleaner and their Speed Shine.

Hmmph... just checked their site and can't find them now.
So.... once I had a bottle leak. I called them and told them it broke and they sent me a replacement. Get their spray nozzle for $3 and there you are.

ahh, so was that a blank bottle without the label? that would be
awesome. those labels are kind of a pita to remove.
my MF cleaner bottle is almost empty so im thinking about using that
as my Clarity bottle next. my primary Hydro bottle is already using
Griot's.
