-Second. Your shift light keeps you in L/B. It does not engage it! L/B is the DEFAULT mode. [/QUOTE]

shift light does Not KEEP you in lean burn. it just lets you know at that throttle position the motor will go into L/B and to up shift for better mpg.

[/QUOTE]The shift light tells you that if you DON'T shift now you will leave L/B (12 valves) and enter 16 valve operation.[/QUOTE]

NO it wont leave 12v mode. as long as you maintain throttle position. it does NOT mean your leaving 12v and going to 16v.

-Third. You are getting ONE valve per cylinder. ONE. You can possibly expect to feel ONE valve kick it. ONE. When you turn your A/C off/on you're feeling the power of the ENTIRE engine being loaded/unloaded. You're gaining a SINGLE valve per cylinder, ONE! At a time! Not all at once. Apple to oranges; "lean burn" to A/C on/off.[/QUOTE]

if you cant tell or feel when L/B engages then maybe yours isnt engaging? i get 55 mpg. do you? i am trying to show an analogy that it feels similar. if you dont feel when your L/B engages then its not and your not getting 55mpgs+
