RE: MPG with Mods

["Dupree, Robert A." <rdupree@sidley.com>]

As I recall, I am getting about 240 miles in the first half of the tank.   
 I haven't acutally run it past that point because the gas prices here   
suck so I fill up before hitting Illinois.  How do I adjust it for a   
correct reading?  Let me see...  Invite Scott over for a few beers...   
  :)

<< 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....
