[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 868203, member: 3256"] I finally got through a full tank of gas of typical riding (commuting to work, etc.) with my new setup working properly. Pure smoothness/power map: 37mpg Automated switching to economy map when cruising: 43mpg That's an extra 36 miles per tank if I use 6 gallons, which is like getting an extra gallon of gas for free! The automatic economy mode has been mostly unobtrusive. There seems to be a particular speed in 3rd gear that creates some noticeable surging that is annoying. I'll have to catch that in a data log and see if it's just a particular area of the map that I should richen up a bit. Other than that, cruising mode in 1st or 2nd gear sucks, so I think I'll eventually add a gear position input to prevent cruising mode in those gears. For now, I'll just disable cruising mode manually with my button if I'm going to be stuck in slow stop/go traffic. [/QUOTE]
