darcane, are you using Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel? I use 2 oz per 10 gallons. It definitely helps a lot.

I only use lean burn on the highway, where pulse and glide is less practical. And yes, you do have the delay before lean burn kicks in.

If you have an MPGuino, you can usually see the LB kick in sooner on the Guino than on a ScanGauge. Because the SG only updates about every two seconds, but the Guino updates 2x per second. My point is, it might not take quite as long as you think for LB to happen.
