Well, I tried it on the way home yesterday.

Starting in 3rd, the turbo was spooling much more than a lazy acceleration in 1st.

It actually made driving in traffic a little easier. Slower acceleration means less back and forth with the accelerator and brake.

But I don't think that spooling the turbo is the way to improve mileage.

I really need to buy the Scangauge II. It's on my list of things to get, I just need the right "opportunity". Translated: get it when my wife isn't looking.
