Timely question! I was getting about 12 -13 until I increased the R16
resistor as described in an earlier message. Now, same daily 22-mile
round trip to work, I see about 14 - 15. This is mostly low speed, that
11 miles one way takes about a half hour. Driving to Kansas City I saw
about 18 MPG.
So...... What if 93-octane costs me 5% more, but I am getting 12% better
mileage -- and having more fun doing it?
