To Dean, Mike L, Swedecar and all who know the facts

My 2002 Aero sedan had the DIC recall done along with serpentine belt and pulley change about 2-3 weeks ago. My '02 has always been very fast with great gas mileage. I used to get 24-25 mpg before the above changes in my daily driving. Since the above changes, I got 27.2 mpg with the same daily driving and the performance seems even better.
My '03 Aero wagon, which was not affected by the recall, is great too, but not as good as the sedan (may be because it weighs 150 lbs more). Performance is a hair less than the sedan and it pulls in 24 mpg in the same driving loop.
Here is my question: When the brand new DIC was put in my '02 Aero sedan...is that the same DIC that my '03 wagon has? or is it a new and improved design that are in the newer Aeros, e.g. the '05's and '06's? Am I seeing the benefits only because it is a NEW DIC or because of a SUPERIOR DESIGN? If it is a new and improved design, then I dont mind putting that one even in my '03 Aero wagon...since I can really tell a difference.
Thanks.
