VanAken and fuel mileage -- auto/stock

[Archive]

Inquiring minds would like to know those of you who have done the VA mod if your fuel mileage increased or decreased. Mostly interested in those who have stock trucks with automatics.

To say the least I am skeptical... , but would like info on this so I can decided if I want to go for the group purchase with TJ.

Several inquiries have been made on the other threads, but no real commital on what actual mpg increases or decreases have been.

runaway i said the same thing ... lol ... but seriously i think that mileage increases won't be seen at first , i know that with my 98 gasser when i put on the new exhaust that i loved the sound so much i always had my foot in it and my mileage dropped by about 3 or 4 mpg , and my brake life suffered also ... it seems like a good deal ... do it ... but hurry today is the cutoff...
