Guess The MPG Gain!

Tomorow my 95 4Runner will be getting:

-New distributor cap
-New distributor rotor
-New ignition wires
-New fuel filter
-New oxygen sensor
-Warn manual hubs
-An oil change

So, lets play a game. Guess the MPG I will gain to a tenth of a mile. Winner gets a prize (I don't know what yet), but it will be something, I swear.

All the above mentioned parts are origional with 130,000 plus miles on them.

Check out my sig/build-up thread for further vehicle info.

I currently avaerage around 12MPG.

Airfilter is in great condition, I use 87 octane and my top end was rebuilt recently and is in good tune.

So, what is your guess? Mine is 3.1MPG.

It will take a few tanks to get a good avaerage for the winner.

I'm guessing 5 mpg flat. Heck, I picked up 5 from a new O2 sensor alone.

+6.5 mpg

If you don't get that, you should get a refund.
