turbovr41991,

Now that lean burn is working a bit better for you, try for some lower speed LB this way:

Once you have LB at 65-70 mph or whatever speed works for you, lift foot very slightly so speed starts to drop very gradually. See at what speed LB is lost. If all is well one day you will have LB down to about 1800-1900 rpm. That is very useful indeed.

REMEMBER the ScanGauge updates only once per two seconds. So your visible gauges there are always delayed behind reality. Don't lift foot too fast or ScanGauge will be so far off it will really be lying to you.
