-----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
( I won't be using the high octane gas again. worse mileage, and my minion was real picky about going into lean burn - more than usual. came out to 38mpg. big drop from the last 2 tanks. { I won't log that tank } Next tank will be 87 octane again) I was very well behaved the whole tank, we'll see on the next one, I will report again.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Not quite as good a mileage as last time, but this is just as I expected. I got on it hard quite a few times to show off, make noise, and burn tires.

This proves to me more than ever the importance of throttle control, and the fact that the oem cruise control hurts my mpg's in most cases (all that include aero / hills).
looks like the next mod will have to be the hand throttle - I like donkeycrx's setup, but I also like the simplicity of hillbilly's.... decisions decisions.
