I'm not, that's to be sure.

Also, it's apparent that I do not posses a physics degree. I was wrestling with centrifugal/centripetal conundrum; I used wikipedia, but alas I still don't get the difference.

What I was wanting to know is if there was a trick to use that outward energy to get higher FE. Due to the unanimous response, I am assuming that there is no such technique. I will, however, experiment with the idea when I get my scan gauge and post results. As I stated previously, the testing will be with lane positioning or how I choose to take the corner, not modification of the vehicle.
