After having a new Jake Brake installed I have seen a decrease of mileage (hand calculated of course) with new jake my averages are 5.8 to 6.2. Prior to new jake I was averageing 6.5 to 7.5 Does my newly installed Jake brake effect my fuel mileage? I do notice that when the Jake is engaged, there will be a bit of unburned fuel coming from the exhaust that I can only see at night time when there are headlights shinning from behind. Thanks in advance, Newell Attack __________________ 1978 39 FT. Newell Classic Jeff & Leann Shackly
