Not to beat a dead horse on this one.....but the thermostat change really has made a world of difference.
- MPG is up at 37.9 mpg. I have done 320 miles on half a tank and OBC is projecting this to be a 635 mile tank based on current consumption. Previously I was only seeing about 550 mile tanks or less ~34 / ~32 mpg.
- Warm ups are shorter. The car reaches ideal running temps in about 10 minutes.
- Transmission shifts feel more crisp and precise. I know this sounds odd, maybe placebo effect.
- Low rpm performance feels more responsive, pulling away from a light or slow driving, the pedal feels more linear, again maybe placebo effect.
- And less soot on the rear (ABC delete car)
This might classify as one of the best and cheapest 'mods' done to the car.
