I think some people would argue "the sickness" is a foregone conclusion if we're out there doing stuff like this.
Thanks Darin I would say you can count me in the fold of those who have the mpg bug.

Today I am feeling pretty satisfied and a bit happier since I'm just about over my Streptococcus Pharyngitis.

My next project involves stripping a spare motor I have for the cam shaft and have it sent in for mpg optimization. Preliminary results on the 2 this guy has done for other peoples Festiva's have yielded 7 and 10mpg for first tanks respectively. I don't have a way of varifying those results, but I'm willing to take a shot that it will be worth trying.
