Maybe I drove differently in ways I didn't notice, but an 11mpg gain seems to me LIKELY to be partly about the ignition timing, POSSIBLY. Anyway, it's just a fun report. BTW, I got 102.2mpg on a two mile strip that's flat until it ends in a downhill this morning. But I won't brag!  |
Once might be a fluke. Twice might be coincidence. Three times is a trend. Props for the 85.6 mpg.
Update?
