I'm still stuggling to get a 40mpg tank....I've changed my driving habits and it hasn't helped, however I found a BSFC map for our motor and am trying to use it on this tank for Pulse and Coast to see how that works. Seems to be working so far.....
Chart attached: First one is baseline without EGR the second is with 10% EGR, which is probably close to what our's is doing. Nice wide band of rpm and load that we can get good mpg's. Folks may be flocking towards the ZX2 after seeing this
I think last year, I instantly went up somewhere between 2-4 mpg with summer gas.

Unfortunately, those charts mean nothing to me as I haven't go a clue what any of that means...
