Default So Far so Good

I've had my PTC NA now for about 2 months and so far I'm happy with it , the initial stages looked questionable After basically tearing the entire front end apart and rebuilding it, and some rear end work I'm glad I have it, the gas mileage while not perfect is far better than what I came out of.

One thing I have noticed though If I drive while in city traffic in 3rd it performs very well, and there appears to be no apparent loss of fuel mileage.
After doing a exhaust and new intake it woke up quite a bit, no its not going to win any races but I'm happy with it now.....

Yeah, intake and exhaust help - and they don't hurt mileage unless you let the sound drive your foot....
Keep the tires inflated for best mileage.

Well you brought up a good point, its VERY hard to indeed keep your foot out of it, that rumble under the hood puts a really silly grin on my face.

What I was really surprised about is how well it does in town running in 3rd as long as the speed stays below 45, I try to keep it close to 2500 - 3000 RMP range and it does very well.
