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'm fortunate that I can delay my commute and avoid some of the worst of it. And the south end is a bit lighter than the mess between Everett and Seattle. 36 isn't too bad, considering. Pulse and coast (I generally don't "glide" with the engine off) works pretty well when I do get stuck in nasty traffic.

I feel a slight stumble as it enters lean burn and a slight surge when it leaves. It's hard to notice unless I'm holding very steady on the throttle. An ultragauge is probably cheaper than a wideband O2 senser...
