Anxious to find out what I get when I fill it up again - I think 70 mpg is within reach with a little more work...
How did you that? Very impressive! Please share how you measure and advanced the timing. Plus, give more details about yr engine and control system to see if others may take advantage of yr experience.

By the way, where did you get that advice or suggestion?

Congratulations and thanks to share.
