My gas mileage dropped about 1mpg after de-snorking. Co-inkydink? I normally get 24 and change. Therefore, I re-snorked today, and I definately noticed more torque off idle, though it seemed slightly slower to red-line.

Bisimoto,

does your data confirm this? Your graph starts at 1800rpm. I putter around on flat roads sometimes around 1500rpm, and milk it right around 2000rpm on moderate hills. Without lugging the motor I've gotten close to 25mpg driving this way combined with several redline trips and freeway onramp launches per tank.

I'll test this a few more weeks and see if I can baseline this.

Update: I de-snorked my car again, and my mpg went back up to 24-25. It must have been the oxegenated gas, or possibly the climate control kicking the AC on too much. I'm leaving the snork off.
