What are you currently getting for mpgs with your 4.2 V6?
I normally got 17 combined half city half highway. The last tank I drove as conservatively as possible and got 18.9. That was about 60% highway and 40% city. I drove 403 miles on the tank befor refueling. It only took 21gal so I suppose I had 6 gallons still in there.
What's everyone else getting?

I get around 15 in the city. On the highway, it depends on speed, hills, winds, A/C use, and gas quality. It ranges from 17 to 22. I just took a trip to Chicago and back, and on the way back I made it from Morris IL to Lebanon MO (430 miles) on one tank of gas and got 20.1. I had the A/C on all the way, ran on cruise at limit +4, and used 87 octane BP E-10. On the way up, I only got about 18.5 from Joplin to St. Louis on Walmart crap gas.

It would be a negligible gain. Probably not even 1 mpg together. Keep in mind you have to keep it under 2,000 rpms to get a decent mileage with these engines. My plenum opens @ 2500 so I can see the GPM flow double when I hit "vtec"

Clogged catalytic converter. $250 for two maggie high-flows and a $250 weld job fixed that. Just topped off tonight- 19.28 mpg on Wally-world E10.
