My apologies!!
Thank you for setting me straight......for the record then, the inputs are what? VSS, fuel sender AND MAP?

I have the 1.6s and the Juice
I actually found the overhead to be farely accurate with just the Juice or the VanAaken. Other then the tire size error.
Once I put the injectors in, my overhead went way up. But now instead of reading 1-2 MPG low, it reads 1-3 MPG high.
22.5-23 means I'm getting 20. 21.3 = 19 MPG.
This is just my experience. My 1.6s did very little for my mileage. Somewere between down .5 MPG and up .5 MPG. Seems to vary.

My 12 valves don't have the overhead mpgs but my friend whose 24 valve does told me if he resets his while coasting downhill it reads 99 mpgs.
That's when you want to show it to your Ford buddies.

Even then, do you really want a ford owner near your truck, you know, with how little they know about operating a vehicle, id be afraid the doorhandles could be broken afterwards.
All in good humor, of course.

After putting in the Edge, my overhead was reading 23-25...I told this to a Powerjoke buddy, who took it pretty hard - I THEN told him that it was actually reading WAY high due to the chip, and he brightened right up, felt a lot better about his around-15-mpg truck....until I told him the ACTUAL mpg was just under 21 for the previous tank.
Poor guy......

Well, my truck lied to me. I averaged 17.4 mpg this week. Crap. The truck is gonna have to park itself in the corner for a timeout for lying to me. Man, the mpg display is wayyyyyy off. Still says like 33. Oh well.
