So your scangauge routinely indicates that you get 79 mpg average? wow

I switch to LOD and I like it. The 80% range actually gives me better acceleration than I had been (driving, doing, making, having, odd verbiage) before.

I removed the power steering belt today as an experiment to see if the car is livable. I don't have a problem with it at the moment. My driving has been unusually limited this week compared to normal (averaging 124.5 miles per day) and my scangauge readings will not be trusted until an accurate fill. Right now the TANK AVG is 46.5 mpg.

Pale, what is the off event for your scangauge? 0 RPM? I changed mine to COM hoping that I could keep it alive during EOC but I am switching with the key so the computer still shuts off with the engine at first until I switch it back. Any workarounds for this? Fuel cutoff switch I suppose is the best solution to kill the engine.
