missing 1 receipt dated between Apr 9 and Apr 18 for full tank mid grade gas to experiment with mileage with new PCM installed, prior to trip to NY state to get shoes and front end parts... exact mileage was 198911.8 / 462.2 km Approx L to fill was 79.414 Approx price was $1.297 (using $103 total as a guess) Sum of all known actuals - sum of known deltas at each interval - total DIC indicated yields a delta of -3.071, right in line with all others, so data is very reasonable

DIC now at 12.2 L/100 km (vs 19.5 before!!!) OLM @ 74% (29% corrected) DIC indicated 15.7 L consumed vs 17.517. However note that L/T consumption indicated by DIC exactly matched my real records. Idle was minimal while truck was washed after engine soak/clean DIC indicated economy was as low as 12.1, still trending downwards slowly - after 125km drive, RAnge indicated still increasing so s/t (instantaneous) hwy fuel econ must still be a bit better than indicated

Cleaned my Throttle Body today, about two weeks after first buying this vehicle. Info found on TrailVoy forums, no appreciable performance issues prior, nor any noticeable improvement afterward; TB was not clean, but not filthy either
