Ok, thanks.  Yeah I got my 2K value from the website that talks about
testing everything thru the ECU cable.  I'm sure you've seen the site.  It
was for 68F.

Yeah, you hit it on the head.  I'm still waiting on that next tank of gas
for mileage results.  Shouldn't be long.  I'm almost due for a complete
fillup.  Hope YOUR mileage improves, Jim, over your last numbers !!!!

Thanks,
