Results of grounding mod

[Gene]

1. 06 Forester steers better...ya i know...also runs faster after a
wash...noticed no pulseing felt on steering wheel, when backing out the
drive...first time out after mod.

2. Radio works better...here in Nevada it does not take a long drive
to be in the fringe area of receiving any radio stations....

3. MPG went from 24 to 27, and thats my story !

Gene:

Could you please specify what exactly you grounded? And what gauge
wire/type of connectors you used?

Could you please specify what exactly you grounded? And what gauge
wire/type of connectors you used?

Starting at the battery : Removed and replaced the wire, with the
connector , between the upper engine and body...# 1 wire, batt to upper
engine. # 2 wire batt. to the body, where the original # 1 had been
grounded. # 3 wire batt. to firewall, leaving orignal wire, that was
connected to firewall. #4 pass. side.body to middle of engine, losing
another connector. ( which can cause a lot of grief ! connectors that
is ) #5 unable to find one end, so it was left alone, EXCEPT, a
internal teeth washer was installed on the body end of this wire. All
connections, away from the batt., now have the internal teeth washers.
Some did not have washers orignally ! Material :12ga.primary wire ,
yellow crimp on connectors, 1/4 and 3/8 inch and internal teeth
washers. AutoZone store. Also installed washer on red/pos, post of
alternator. Some of my thunks while doing this mod. some one at the
plant got a bonus, money saved on that dinky - batt.cable.and the rest
of the dinky wires. Did not solder nor scrape paint ! LAZY ! internal
teeth washers are best for elect. jobs,externarl are best for mech. And
washers that ( aircraft ? ) have both are the best Gene

Placebo effect? I can't see how grounding differently would effect mileage..
