Just for kicks I am going to reset the fuel trims for the cold weather and ****ty winter gas and see what happens. I have a VERY consistent 16 avg. so I will defiantly see a difference if there is one to be found.

On the Renix system (will work for H.O. also) when I relocated the IAT sensor I left the other one in the manifold. In the colder months I plug the manifold one back in.

I just made the round trip to Memphis yesterday. Put around 300 miles on it. Got 12.25 MPG out of a 350/700R4 with stock 3.55 gears and 31's. Kept it right around 74-75 most of the time. Gonna head to Nashville tomorrow so it'll be another 360+ miles and a big hit to the wallet.

Bone stock 1998 XJ 4.0L that runs and idles perfectly. Or so it seems.
Just refilled my first tank of gas.
With mostly neighborhood/city driving. I got 8.8 mpg.
I accelerate very gently, as well.
Horrendous. I thought these pigs did 15-20.
I guess I need to throw parts at it.
Tune up, O2, exhaust manifold
