Where did you get that iat is part of the formula the sg uses to compute fuel usage? I never read that anywhere.

And even if you don't touch the ho2s and do the iats resistor mod, you still retain the timing advantage given by the mod.
Last summer I replaced the IAT sensor with different resistors. I got progressively better MPG on the SG, but I didn't believe it. Others have had similar results with long term resistor swaps that 1) didn't effect driveability and 2) didn't effect their observed fuel usage.
