I got the switch all installed, but quickly realized that I had connected the switch to the wrong wire... I connected it to the tan/black wire, but on the wrong ECU connector. So, I made a really awesome oil pressure sensor switch! Sadly, this doesn't help out your mileage as much as you might hope. So, I undid that mod and pulled out the other ECU connector to get the right wire... except there is no tan/black wire on that connector. So, I have a bit more digging to do to get this mod working. But, first I have to get my friends Forester out of my garage. I'm just finishing up a clutch job on it.

I actually haven't been driving the sunfire much because I've been taking the CM400 (motorcycle) almost everywhere I go lately. But, the past two days I have had to take the car. This morning was my best trip in to work. The scangauge read 37.2 mpg as I pulled into my spot. Still, the tank is only a bit over 30 mpg.
