Once Ido this and get into lean burn, I can maintain in lean burn at low RPMs for 200+ miles. In my normal commute, it would kick out due to traffic. It is very rare for me to have an open stretch of road to maintain 60 mph for a long period of time. Also, knowing that if i kick out, it owuld not aloow me to reenter at low RPM, I was sure to anticipate hills and get up to 2200 or 2300 rpms before large hills.
There is still a problem limiting it from re-entering once the engine is warm, but this at least shows what it is capable of on a long trip if I can hold and maintain lean burn.
