Christ: I believe the 2nd Gen Tempos have MPFI. I'll look into the MPGuino too, since I've been interested in mapping MPG vs. speed for a while. Without the proper instruments, I've mostly been running blind.


Stone: Thanks for the link. That's not very pricy at all, so I just might get that when I get some money.

Metro: I've actually been doing some coastdown tests using speed limit signs as a guide. It definitely seems to be slowing more gradually from 45 to 35 than before, but the mileage still isn't as high as I'd like. I'm going to try pulling out the K&N filter and put the Fram back in and see what that does for a couple tanks. Maybe I can do some simple, reversable changes to the engine and see what that gets me.
