An inverse reality. Also FYI I'm not a sir, but don't call me mam ;-)
Haha, I'm so sorry! Another member PM'd me to inform me of my error there, but by that point, I figured I'd already stuck my foot in my mouth.

Yeah, it's certainly hard to make the crossover to ECOperformance driving. Now, I find my self loving life in the "slow lane".

Do you have instantaneous feedback/monitoring yet with a MPGuino? That's an absolute must. However, IMHO, I'd recommend a vacuum gauge first. Run with just that for a tank or two. The gauge really helped me to get the "lead out of my foot". I didn't realize how much a (seemingly) small amount of decreased pressure in my foot could affect MPG's/vacuum so much. It's crazy how sensitive our pedals are. Thus, the increased popularity of the handle throttle mod on this site, I suppose...
