    EE with emphasis in Computer Engineering aka Software Engr. and Control Systems at St. Mary's University. SwRI pays so I have to take advantage of it.

    2.25 gain in tow mode (16.75 mpg). This tank I'll try economy mode. I know I'd get better gains if all my miles were on the highway because my city mileage is essentially the same.

    With fuel at $2.79/gal it will take 31k miles to recover. We all know fuel will go up. If I only knew the rate I could better calculate this. Road trips will be better. Again, the noise decrease was well worth it.

    We'll see what economy mode does.

    more advanced timing, more conservative fuel mapping, and maybe higher injection pressure
