Well, I would be afraid of possibly melting the pistons and doing horrible damage if the car is set too lean, this added to if I can increase compression to 12 using the Iso-Butanol I plan on using in the future.

I think fuel deactivation for deceleration may be the only trick I will be tempted to use to help improve fuel economy. Aside from this, I have to test the theory on better low end torque to permit very low RPM driving for fuel economy.

I am not expecting to have the mileage rating of a four cylinder car, but I would like to approach or meet the EPA fuel rating of the 2014 LT1 in the Corvette!
