Yeah, I'm not wondering.

I no longer have a Mitsu engine in my fleet so I don't really have a wrench in this box, but I just have to say, your experiments and results just leave me floored. Finding more than 30mpg in a car that can reel of sub-Vette numbers in the 1/4 is good. Damned good.

Cracking into the 40s is something else entirely. It's like the moon shot of ecomodding.

Now, there are obvious tradeoffs. Rear seat has been annexed by the Plumbing Demons. There's a level of involvement required of the driver that no conventional car will be able to sell - 95% of everybody isn't interested in driving the car, they want to have driven the car. They aren't interested in the process at all. But if I had all the bells and whistles and control knobs that you've installed, yeah, I'd be tweaking them all day.

My hat's off, PGFPro. I am frankly impressed.
