First time posting, have been lurking here reading for a bit.

I have a '97 Geo 1.0l 5spd, dancing at 50mpg right now, trying to get past it with more driving technique.

Without a vacuum gauge to see for sure, I'm curious...

Say your going up a hill, 5th gear, WOT and your just holding.... lift off the pedal a little bit, it does just the same, still working it's butt off to maintain.

With Fuel Injection, is there really any more fuel going through at that point between almost and complete WOT when under such a load? No change in RPM or power noticed.
