MPG with Mods




All, as rediculous as this sounds I am now getting better gas mileage   
than I have EVER gotten with this car.  With the mixture set correctly   
(Thanks PDQSHIP), and then home-grown ECU mod, I am now seeing 37 mpg on   
the higway with the cruise set at 72 mph.  Strangely enough though when I   
back it down to 68-70mph range, the mileage is cut to about 35 mpg.  I am   
assuming that this is due to the mixture setting at a given RPM range un   
the ECU lookup table.  Or could it be more due to the gearing of the   
car...  Maybe WARATAP's 4.11's would help :)  or Graydon's EFI or   
PDQSHIP's RS-2, all I need is MONEY!
