[C3H8]

i have an automated manual, or is that manualised auto? anyways i can average low 40's over a tank if i drive carefully. i dont let me vaccum gauge go below 10 inches of mercury. no a/c, alternator disabled, power steering belt removed. i just dont think eoc has much benefit. that and i can control the torque converter lockup so i could, in theory, engine off coast. but i just dont think it's worth much mpg overall since i live in south florida and it's flat as kansas here.

the 2 main things that helped me was removing the cat, and removing the egr. maybe the cat was clogged, i dont know but it definitly helpd. the egr helped because not having it means the throttle plate is not as far open as it normally would if the egr was working. because the throttle is closed more, the computer gived the engine more ignition timing. for my engine, timing=efficency.

i actually did a-b-a testing by driving around with my scanner hooked up so i can see the ignition timing. pulling the wire on the egr valve cause it to jump up.
