Re: 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!

Before graydon and I can spread too much of this syrup on our pancakes, be
advised, Mr. Bob, that the dash guage accuracy might need some adjustment....
Go the old fashioned way of the miles vs gallons, I think your at least 10
high.... There's an adjustment for that too....
