Thanks for the update. A quick question (not much time and I don't want to forget): Are you planning any ABA testing? This kind of easily reversed and reinstalled mod is ideal for such testing. Without it, I'm afraid you really can't know if the resistor is helping or hurting because there are just too many other factors, especially given the warming weather. You really need to control other factors to know the effect.

Respectfully,

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
