    Just kidding.

    The rpm raises a few hundred, and I haven't noticed any mileage losses at cruise, but I don't live in Texas where the roads are all flat, either, lol, so I've never had to opportunity to drive 300 miles in one go with any of these convertors.

    However, I didn't notice any mileage drop the few times I've done short road trips in these cars. I've also never kept one of my cars long enough to determine mileage losses (if there were any).

    I would strenuously recommend putting a 24,000 GVW tranny cooler in front of the radiator if one installs one of these convertors, just to remind everyone.
