  Of course turning up the pump does basically the same thing...  The 
little playing 
I did with it on my Jetta left me with that conclusion.  It's nothing like 
nitrous, 
from what I was seeing.  I wasn't allowing more fuel to combust, it was 
simply 
more fuel added.  That was by feel though, not by long term driving to see 
if 
mileage increased by more than the amount of propane burned.
