That makes total sense...but I still think you can get more MPG IF your able to run more powerful fuel. AND my understanding is pure GASOLINE VAPOR is such a fuel.

I think the anemometer on your hood, just upstream of the windshield, isn't the best place for it. On the roof of the car, about 2/3 the way back, would probably be as true an airspeed indicator as you're going to get.
Anemometer????

Are you talking about my weather station?? I was only going to use that standing still to show what weather was like on great road test to answer the questions as to was there any wind etc.
