I ticked off 92.5 miles, decided to top her off - 2.24 gallons. 57 miles of 75-80 mph interstate cruise up the mountain from Morganton (900 ft) to ashEVILle (2700 ft), and 35.5 miles of in-city driving. 41.1 mpg.

I lied in a HT thread tonight (so it doesn't really count, there being no tech over there and all, and I 'fessed up to it here), but it does have wideband closedloop enabled currently. Switching at 16:1 AFR, and there was no discernable loss of part throttle power in the 16.5-17:1 AFR when I was originally tuning it so I think I'm going to go a touch leaner. I really need to book some time on Aaron Lail's MD-1100SE because I'm pretty sure 45 min to an hour trimming my part throttle timing would make a difference.

Well, I have also replicated B16 swap performance for under a grand, proving once again that a B16 is an overpriced pile of ----.
