Or, if you're really concerned about it, don't move the throttle as fast. The biggest changes you can make are all driver-related. Not the goofy stuff like drafting semis, but the common sense stuff such as maintaining momentum and looking ahead in traffic. Think of fuel as "delta-v" and you get the idea. Anyone who's ever driven a low-power car already understands all this. The best thing about high gas prices is that I can justify high cornering speeds as an efficiency measure!

Can't you get a lean knock if you open the throttle too quickly and there's not enough accel fuel? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Bill Cardell Sent: Thu 5/22/2008 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Miata Power List Subject: RE: Hypermiling with a Link ECU I'm thinking Matt meant accel pump type enrichments, which is accel fuel on the Link. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bryan Wyatt Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:51 AM To: Miata Power List Subject: RE: Hypermiling with a Link ECU Are you talking about fuel system cleaners that you put in the gas tank? -Bryan --- On Thu, 5/22/08, Matt Yates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've also noticed that fuel pump type enrichments can be a huge source of wasted fuel.
