MetroMPG - Yes sir, they are! It feels good to have 45 mpg trips once again!

Have you heard anything from COZX2 recently? I was looking over his page over at Fuelly... Wow, I was in disbelief. Over 100 mpg with no boat tail!

Xist - Of course! They made what I am doing possible

DirtyDave - Thanks bud!

This tank is going well. It should (prayers and fingers crossed!) surpass 44.

On the way home from school today, I found out first hand the effects of humidity on the Zetec engine. On 70-85% pulses that would usually result in pinging, I could not detect any today. Usually I can hear the tell-tell rattling. So I am now thinking water injection might be beneficial in the future.

Anyone know if you can use WI on NA engines? Any experience?

My new vapor canister purge valve is on the way. This may help my FE, as it can cause a rich condition. If not, the P0446 code will go away for good.

Also, the IAC valve is acting up AGAIN. I've lost 50-100 mpg off my instantaneous coasting mpg, which renders P&G moot. It is an expensive part, so I plan on cleaning it as TeamZX2 prescribes and go from there.

All in all, I'm happy with all the progress happening
