They had a right up about one in ??? 4wheel & sport ute last/this month's issue.
If I remember correctly the mileage goes down 1-2 MPG but the power is supposed to go up.

my 1.3 gets about the same mileage as it did before and has more power.

I get two hard days of wheeling with a little left. Thats about 12-14 hours of throttle time. My iroks are aired down to 2lbs, so I don't think thats helping my mileage either.

8 gal. I wish I had room for the 10 gal tank because I think it would handle two really hard days of wheeling. 10 gal would do a 3 day weekend of decent wheeling.

We've got a trail by my house that is 5-6 hrs of hard wheeling. I know for a fact I can't run it twice with the same bottle. 8 gal comes back under half full every time. If I had a 10 gal tank, it would be a no-brainer.
