Thanks for all the replies and info

So I've been playing with this all weekend and here's a few things I've noticed:

1. It certainly gives me numbers that make me happy (4L/100KM highway).
2. The accelerator is less effective at accelerating.
3. EOC is hard between stop signs that are close together
4. Don't use the short trip guage because sometimes Ultraguage will turn off
5. People really are not nice...

Going from 60KM/h to 80KM/h (35-50MPH):
- - - in 5th goes from 1500RPM --> 2100RPM
- - - in 4th goes from 1800RPM --> 2500RPM
and neither give me 80% load when flooring it, is this normal? I'm usually around 65-75% load. also is pushing the throttle farther worse for fuel consumption if it doesn't change engine load by that much?
