Was that by EVIC or hand calculated?
Not one of the lucky ones to have an EVIC so it's hand calculated. I fill up at the same pump at the same station every time and fill till the pump stops on it's own and my refill are between 1/2 and 3/4 everytime so this should be pretty acurate. I've recorded all my fuel ups since new and so far the one with the Predator is the best I'v seen.
Thank you! Since the subject of the Predator modules came up several months ago, every report on mileage gains till now has been based on EVIC readings. I've spoken to several distributors for the Predator and other modules who said that these modules could throw off the EVIC readings to the high side, since they're playing with the signals it uses to compute fuel mileage. Myself and several others have asked those using Predators to hand calulate their MPG and verify the EVIC reading, before biting the bullet and buying one ourselves. Up till now, had never gotten any response that I know of.
As far as I know, you're the first Predator user that has given a straight answer and said "yes, I hand calculated my mileage, and yes, it did go up by X amount".
I'm not trying to slam the other Predator users out there, my apologies if this post sounds that way. But for those of us more concerned about MPG than performance, it's been a little frustrating trying to get some sort of verifiable info on these, other than what the distributors claim.
