I just had an exchange that answers this question on another thread that started about the VX lean burn and drifted into the HX lean burn. Answers your question:

And it's maybe worth considering getting a Fed ECU if you don't have one so you can test and see if you can confirm this experience.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
