When I did mine I didnt notice much of an improvement in MPG, if any but as I dont keep an exact count its hard to tell, (I go off getting 125-130 for the first 1/4 of a tank filled up to the point where the pump clicks off only - nothing more scientific than that really, if it drops below that figure then I know somethings amiss somewhere :) ), but it did stop a slight mis-fire at 2750 RPM and she seemed to pull a bit better too. Mine still smokes (slight pump tweek, as in fuel stop pin rotated only, so that may account for that) but crud in the intercooler is almost stopped (re-conned turbo thats not 100% on the sealing front or failing valve stem oil seals I recon account for that too). Overall though, I'll not be putting t back on, as I didnt do it for the MPG's.

Keeping accurate mileage records is a matter of necessity. I'm self employed and back-charge my company for the business miles I do in the Discovery. HMRC like to see nice neat records at tax-time ;-)
