INTERESTING....

I viewed a few pictures the other day of a parade of some sort in New England... The MG club is also the Yacht Club so all of the MGs in the parade had a mast and a main'sle stuck between the seats....

Maybe that is what we should do.... if we have a wind.. we sail, otherwise, we drive.... :wink:
 
Try adding a small potentiometer to the signal wire of your delta sensor (O2 sensor), and adjust itfrom infinty ohms (or is that zero ohms?)(stock setting) to anything below that in small incrimemnts, and keep checking your plugs at each setting to make sure you aren't running lean.

This might work if the o2 sensor is what determines the fuel mixture throughout the range. On some cars the throttle position sensor overrides the 02 sensor at WOT.

This is just my suggestion to a possible answer to the above question. I AIN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR CAR BASED ON THIS INFORMATION!!!!!

Also, if it has a bosch or nippondenso vane type mass air sensor, the black plastic panel on top can be removed, and there is an adjustable ratcheting device in there that can be adjusted to lean out the fuel too. Same disclaimer applies.

Heck, don't even go that far.

These cheap fixes that supposedly give unbelievable fuel mileages are hoaxes, rip-offs, and nothing more than a money-maker for junk salesmen.

It doesn't take a genius to noodle this out: with the auto makers sinking billions of dollars into R&D for ever increasing CAFE standards and public demand, all they'd need do is toss a cheap add-on in existing cars and their immediate problems would be over.

They're not fools. If half this junk worked there wouldn't be a single Prius on the road.

Ain't THAT th' truth. And oil would be at $15 a barrel.
 
I'm pretty sure it dropped to $9 / barrel in (or about) 1986.
Lets do whatever we did back then - again.
Not so good for the Alaskan economy (where I was living at the time) but pretty good for most of the rest of the world.
 
It costs Saudi's around $5~$7 a barrel to extract. It would cost LESS to pull it out of North American deposits...

Just an FYI.
