Wow! Thanks for the awesome response guys! Okay, I will take this one by one:

Are you speculating?

Awesome! I have not heard of these, I will check it out! Thank you!

Agreed! I have been a hypermiler for a while, I am here asking for ideas because being a hypermiler just isn't cutting it
(we spend over a grand a month on gas...)
I promise I wouldn't bother you guys if the problem was simple

Awesome reference. This is exactly my goals for my (future) engine mod.

Precisely. Which is a reason why I am electrifying the other vehicle - I can't stand how underhanded gas interests are. The faster I can get them to stop siphoning my money the better. Not to mention these oil related wars are wearing down our wonderful country.

Absolutely. The pulse width will definitely have to be reduced.

That was the first page google landed me on. I was surprised that I didn't find this mod on there (although I don't suspect it is a common one, and that list is for 'proven' mods). And again, I promise I wouldn't bother you guys with the complex (like this) without first taking care of the basic (like normal maintenance).
Thanks again for the awesome response guys!
