First fuel up since fitting the T/B and I managed to get 473 K out of 77L using premium. A mix of country and city driving with no off road. The best I could manage before was around the 430-440 mark. :D

A 30 Km saving per tank, hmm that works out to be lets see
(77/470)*30 gives about 5 litre saving per tank.
hmm thats about $4.50
So depending on how much the TB is you could recoupe the costs fairly quickly, lets see if it is around $200 bucks thats only 44 fill ups. or around one years driving for me.

Thats 16.3l/100 after and 17.7 before for those who want to compare!
Just a note on the pricing of the XL throttle bodies (up 6mm from standard to 60mm). Price for an exchange unit is around $220 (ie oil and filter change cost from a stealership). Price rises to $250 fitted.
That's not 2 bad a price. But I wonder if they'd still sell it to me and trust that I'd post my old one back? Can't be without the Jeep for any period of time really. Need both our vechicles running at the same time.
