WAI vs. Stock and Tube from header vs. No tube from header

All of this will be on a stretch of 36.3 mile road. That 150mpg was my fault, I forgot to reset the trip.

1st test will be with the WAI and the tube from the header.

2nd test will be with the stock intake and the tube from the header.

3rd test will be stock but no tube from the header.

I will kill 2 birds with one stone. The best result will stay in my car.

Right now I'm with a WAI and the tube from the header and it's killing my mpg. I'm at 31mpg now.

All tests will be in the same day all within 2 hours of each other. Same stretch of road, same driving conditions. Same gas station, same pump.

Results are so freaking

Results are so freaking weird.

WAI and tube from header .830 gallons in 36.3 miles =43.73mpg

Stock intake and tube from header done twice 2.158 gallons on 72.6 miles =33.64mpg

Stock intake and no tube from header 1.134 gallons on 36.3 miles =32.01mpg

I'm confused like hell!!!!!!!!

Please discuss. For god's sake please discuss!

I've said it before and I'll

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

36 miles is NOT enough to do a very accurate test, especially if your typical MPG is between 30-40.

This is why I challenged you to do a 200 mile run. If you could do over 100 miles on each condition your results would start to take shape.
