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?
