Just filled up: 28 mpg. last tank: 30 Previous average: 24. Still getting a big increase in FE, although I think they switched to winter gas before the previous fill up. Got a big drop last year at about the same time. Will see next tank.

Biggest FE mod yet. I will have to try a highway P+G run to see If I can top 36mpg. Now that I can stay locked up in OD, It should work.

I hereby nominate this mod for inclusion in the List-o-mods. Anyone want to second it? Do I have to get all scientific first?
