wha wha what??? You mean Vtec-E? are you saying going into vtec is more FE then Lean burn? I hope your right, this would help me understand why I got 62mpg when I neglected lean burn to draft a semi truck (I used alot of vtech and high load) This whole time I was trying to stay in LOW RPM's like 1700 at 60mph...

I cant wait till I get my MPGuino, I think this will teach me alot about my car...
