understand that the MFA estimates mpg by looking at rpm, vacuum, and miles

traveled.  It does not measure actual fuel consumption.  So I don't see how

a 99.9 reading could be blamed on a vacuum leak since the MFA should

interpret that as WOT or close to it and estimate a low mpg. >>

- The more vacuum to the sensor in the back of the speedo cluster, the lower 
the MPG reading.  If the line is totally disconnected, than the reading will 
be 99mpg, since it will think your car is traveling without even using the 
engine, because there is no vacuum.
