I recently purchased one and was surprised to hear lean burn economy only equates to 3 MPG. I have an MPGuino (not perfectly calibrated) and I see a jump of 10 MPG when the lean burn kicks in. I know the EPA standard reflects the 3 MPG difference. However, I think with an attentive driver the federal version is capable of a higher percentage over the EPA standard than the California version is.
BTW...good luck to you sir. Every car I seem to find says "VX w/some JDM motor in place of the original".
