Thanks for the reply. I do have one other question though: How much of your driving is city and how much is highway? I wonder because it would be interesting to see if the positive effect is skewed more heavily towards situations in which you are accelerating often or driving at a steady state speed.
I am considering this as a mod for my Metro in the near future as the 1.3 flywheel is lighter than the 1.0 and I am changing out the engine in a few months. My car sees mostly suburban delivery driving with plenty of stop and go so it will be interesting to see how much of a difference it makes. 5 MPG is a VERY tantalizing prospect!
