This week I did a mini experiment: what if I drive more normally? I wanted to see if the mods I added to the car have helped much or not. I still used some of the easier tricks, like EOC on downhills, short shifting when accellerating, quick engine startup and shutdown, and?

But when I was on the freeway I just drove normal. I passes slowing traffic if I felt like it, maintained higher speeds (60 to 70 mph) and didn't lean out the fuel settings as much.

I didn't think it would make a big difference in FE, but it looks like it did! My 90 day average was 38.5 mpg, and on this tank I got 35.7.

OK enough of that, I'm going back to FE driving this week.
As an added bonus I just received a new datalogging program that has functions for MPG, averageMPG, consumption in GPH, as well as other gages. Looks like I'll have to set up a test course and see what works for my car.
