Yes,

Same here. As Bob indicated MTM likes to save fuel for the German boys and
the car runs lean under partial to 50% load. Very handy if you have 98 octane
at $6.00/gal. But with 91 octane a real pain in the .... Smooth throttle
movements may solve your problem ... but that's not much fun.

Hoppen should go back to MTM and have them enrich it slightly.
