Default ImportKiller: This one's for you buddy - My engine resetting results thus far

I filled the tank with 93 octane last night, discharged the system, and drove today in stop and go traffic to work for 22 miles, and averaged about 60 mph on the way back. Here is my odometer reading so far:

Yes I reset the Odometer at the gas station! This was with my 5-speed with no AC.

The only mod I have is my K&N Filter with a stock air box. The Oil was just changed Friday, 10w30 Synthetic (dealer did it).

Even I'm shocked at this. I even let the car settle for about 10 minutes to get an accurate fuel guage reading.

I think reseting the computer froze your fuel gage[8D][8D]

hell my mileage looks AWESOME till I hit half...then it drops like a 10 year olds pants at Michael Jacksons ranch.

I'm waiting for him to try that little electric fan that you put in your intake tube, it's called the universal supercharger or something like that. you always see it in the back of truck magazines.

took all electrical current off the ecu (disconnect the battery) and let it drain till dead to hopefully clear any and all memory the ecu may have so that it relearns and hopefully improves mileage and or power. I think thats what he means, I did it the other night also but the only thing it did was made me reset the clock
