Experiment for VXers

[R.I.D.E.]

Original snorkel position more power. WAI position better mileage, and easily reversible. Hope you can understand the answer. They chose power. My average mileage now is 3 MPG better than the original EPA highway rating, with tires at 34 PSI since they are almost 15 years old.

Current average just over 57 MPG, last tank 57.58.

I hope you'll tell us about the advanced technology you're using to monitor my average mpg. Since I haven't posted it.

Anyway, I think I recall you mentioning that your regular driving conditions are ideal for high mpg. So I guess the special technology you're using to monitor my mpg has also informed you that my driving conditions are just like yours?

Original snorkel position more power. ... They chose power.

They made lots of other decisions that involved the FE/power tradeoff, and chose FE. Why did they go the other way on this one?
