So instead of adjusting master fuel, you should adjust your target and re-tune. Changing master fuel is like lowering your fuel pressure to save gas! Taking corners quickly is efficient. The less you have to slow down for corners, the less you have to accelerate for the straight. You burn more fuel accelerating than you do maintaining a constant speed!

My understanding is, that when going for fuel mileage, anything past Stoich is counterproductive. It reduces fuel, but also power. You're just going to need to put your foot into it more to get the same energy for cruise, accel, etc. I bet the majority of improvement (assuming an already well tuned car) is driving patterns. I can do the driving technique thing for a short while (Maybe an hour), then I have to go right back to wagging the tail around corners, chirping the tires from lights, etc. It's a disease and there's no cure. :-) --------------------------------------------------------- "We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent.

That's simply a scaling factor on the map, and if you decrease master fuel then you have to raise the fuel in the map. Or you've simply decided to run lean all the time. 30.5 not bad. That's almost as good as I get in my 1.6 Voodoo II :) Keith Tanner Flyin' Miata [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.flyinmiata.com <http://www.flyinmiata.com/> 1-800-FLY-MX5s (orders) 1-970-464-5600 (tech) 2008 FM Open House: August 14-17 ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Cardell Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 8:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: MPG up 50% so far the kind with filaments Bill Cardell TurboDog's Dad www.flyinmiata.com www.fmwestfield.com orders 1-800-FLY-MX5S tech support 970-464-5600 Don't miss Flyin' Miata's Open House!
