If anyone could discribe how it feels maybe I can tell you if I am getting lean burn. Don't really want to spend $160 for a scangauge just yet... Thinking about getting a wideband but am currently undicided.
I guess if you are stuck in traffic, you really wont see much benifit to the lean burn engine. As for how it feels, most people feel a slight miss when the car enters and exits lean burn. Also, while in lean burn your power is GREATLY reduced.

Do you have a smart phone? 1carnut is using a bluetooth conector he picked up for $20 to give all the same stats you wuld normally see on a scan gauge. Another option is the $60 ultragauge
