HOWEVER, in the range you're trying to hit - in the 60's percent -...

That is correct. To read mpg on an HX (or VX) you need an MPGuino or other gauge that reads fuel injector pulses. See the Instrumentation forum here. It has a MPGuino sub-forum, you can buy one...

Hold on here. The one caveat with the Ultragauge (and Scan Gauge) is that it won't accurately report fuel economy in Lean Burn mode. I believe these gauges base mpgs off air flow, not fuel flow, so...

I am still thinking it is something else. If it was a gas issue I would expect the VX to have the same problems on the newer fuel. I am half tempted to bite the bullet and get some pure gasoline...

2. TPS (throttle...
