Neals mileage is based on the s/d that is towing his truck around at 45mph

with his cams and heads.. he doesnt make much power down low anymore so the engine isnt using much fuel. that is why he would get good gas milage.

Faster,
The increased efficiency of the engine is what allows the better mileage. Not less power. Give your head a shake.
