<< I now 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.
