I have considered that - but it shows up in the throttle position too
so it is driving a heavier load on the truck
I did get it adjusted from -2 mpg to zero loss
the best I can figure is that the air is not rolling happily behind it

akashic,
I have been following your build thread
good work, it has been enjoyable reading
tuffs were for on the high way - like Bennelson/MetroMPG style test
sorry a little jittery
BTW this is the -2 mpg configuration
