I changed my approach since Sentra did his instrumented study on pulse loads. His best was 92%. I watched my Loop gauge more and determined that it's actually hard to hit Open Loop. I was initially fooled, because the first 3 seconds it really wants to go open loop. Once it gets past that, it locks in Closed Loop until well above 95 LOD. So now I target upper 80's to 90, trying not to pass 95. I *think* that change was one factor in my 90 mpg tank this summer, beating last summer's 88.
Oh, and I confirmed my 15-sec 0-40 acceleration.
