Ha! Phil, I'll only do it if you and several other members will let me put your phone numbers on speed dial! I figure I'd be pressing that button a lot, since there are sharper knives in the EcoModder drawer on this subject matter.

Masking tape would work, but I prefer duct tape for some reason. Maybe I should switch. The duct tape leaves an awful mess behind.

FYI, I've updated the first post with the details of the test for anyone who cares.

Checking my calcs, I also discovered a small error that caused me to understate the effectiveness of the mod by a very small amount (3.7% actual vs. 3.6% stated originally).
