I put a diode in the map sensor, which drops the reference by .7 volts out of 5v. So I think the mpg is off by 14%, so that would put it the same as the test try, around 61 mpg.. It jumps from 50 mpg to 75 mpg when it goes to lean burn. After 7 miles the check engine light came on, so maybe it's not permanent.

Which car has more power in top gear the insight or the blackfly?

With the crazy holiday traffic yesterday, it was a little scary driving a car that can't get out of it's own way. It reminds me of when I deactivated 2 cylinders on my 1977 accord, which made it 800cc.
