After installing an arduino to spoof the IMA signals and get the CEL to shut off, I lost lean burn. Conditions were almost ideal this morning on my way to work, it likely would have been a 75-80mpg day. I pulled in to the parking lot with 68.8mpg on the meter. So, I'm going to call it very approximately 10% in mixed driving.
Are you sure you have the most recent code for the arduino? When I had it in my car I lost lean burn until I went to the most recent code.
