throttle response is alot better as well.
I don't know what role ignition timing might have had--positive or negative--but I just refilled the tank on my first 600+ mile tank. I got 612.5 miles on 10.643 gallons.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
