Also, get an MPGuino into that machine - should be a priority (instant MPG feedback for adjusting the nut behind the wheel). Even though you've got OBD-II, you need a meter that monitors injector activity to measure fuel use. So, a ScanGauge or equivalent (which calculates MPG based on air consumption) won't accurately report MPG when in lean burn.
