i fill up maybe once a month or less and petrol here is about 1.15 a liter so the pay back is a while.

regarding the effects of e05,e10,e15 i do not need to worry as i only fill up with standard fuel not blended (hopefully not) with ethanol.

the standard o2 sensors are not accurate outside of stoic but im not after accuracy just better fuel economy, doesn't matter how much leaner i am as long as the car still works and the fuel economy gets better.
I can check the fuel economy very accurately at idle and although the sensors are not accurate away from stoic I am hoping that the sensors are at least consistent.

yep i could very easily fry something in the ECU, but i dont plan to send a voltage over .9v to the ECU and have it current limited by a fairly conservative resistance so should not have too much of an issue.

either way whatever happens it will be fun to try and maybe ill be able to report an easy method for others to make their cars leaner.
