BHR increased Gas Mileage
Just wanted to let everybody know my impressions of the new BHR Kit i just installed
The main thing i noticed was the increased gas mileage in addition to the better throttle response (makes heel-toe much easier)
you can look in my fuelly below to see my mileage but today i completed my first city-only tank with BHR
and i got....20.5 mpg!
i was averaging 18.5 before and about 17-18 before when i was using 91 octane but now i use 93 octane
now with that being said, i do live in TX and there tends to be more road distance between the stoplights and i know the light timing pretty well in my city lol

I think replacing worn coils may have been the biggest help. I am averaging 20-21mpg depending on where I fill up on factory coils and plugs*.
*By factory I mean OEM replaced at recommended intervals, not the original ones. Around here I seem to get 21mpg with Shell, 20mpg with Hess and a laughable 17mpg with Kangaroo gas. I don't use Kangaroo anymore.
