I read an article sometime ago that talks about combustion temps actually decrease when running lean, IE less fuel less heat. I'll see if i can dig that up because it kind of goes against everything I always heard. Pics could be an obstacle since all I have is the camera on my cell-phone. However, Santa did bring me quite a bit of cash this year...  |
Why don't you try to hold out to at least 250 before the fill  If the increase is that much it will show up pretty easily on your fuel gauge.

I'll give that a try. Hmm, maybe it's time for a road trip.
