You to need file/cut away part of the mount to regain clearance? Is it a different mount?

[SVOboy]

I'm going to file away part of the sensor.

54.57 MPG on the way to work (a best)
62.39 MPG on the way home (a best for anywhere)

I don't think installing my rear tranmission mount made that much of a difference...so Iono what it could be. Anyway:

60 MPG, kiss my grits.

Also, later in the day I'll put up a thread about driving technique because I suck and have lots of questions.

Way to go Flo! Er I mean Ben.

70 can't be too far away. But get the mid calibrated already.

[SVOboy]

I ought to, I just do the calibration by hand at the moment, next fill up it will happen, sir.

Why Flo?

[krousdb]

The first time I heard "kiss my grits" was on a sitcom in the 70's called Alice. Flo was a waitress who kept telling people to "kiss my grits".

[SVOboy]

Ah, I watched "don's plum" (a movie I doubt anyone has heard of) the other night and the waitress was named Flo also, interesting.

Well I guess I am out of the running till fall. I turned on the A/C and the FE went from 72 MPG down to 40 MPG. For some reason the A/C doesn't work when I do engine off coasting.

Well I won't have that problem. I just bought a car that doesn't have AC.

Has anyone though of a way of hooking a vaccum switch to turn the AC off when under load and on while cruising or coasting?
