Thanks for the welcome!

I spent the weekend getting the basics in line; New spark plugs, oil change to synthetic, tire pressure set to max +2, and plenty of reading on how to engage lean burn mode and keep it there as long as possible. Fresh tank this morning, so we'll see what the next few weeks bring as a baseline for my 70 mile commute.

I've been looking into the MPGuino pre-assembled kits, and will likely do that soon. looks like most of the sources are a bit outdated now though. In the meantime, I ordered a bluetooth OBD2 connector to pair with my Nexus running the Torque Pro app. Should arrive Tuesday thanks to Amazon Prime. I'm excited to see how that works as an inexpensive alternative to a Scanguage or Ultraguage.
