I'm going to run this tank of gas almost dry to make sure all the stuff added to the gas goes through before I tank up, and I'll start watching mileage then.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-1120690431055874552005-07-06T15:53:00.000-07:002005-07-06T15:53:00.000-07:00I am NO mechanic, don't even play one on TV.

Forgive my ignorance....<BR/><BR/>As I understand drive trains, you'll get the exact same speed out of the same rpm as long as you're in the same gear. It's a direct connection. What changes is how much gas it takes to get that many rpm.<BR/><BR/>The first time I used synthetic oil (over 25 years ago) I had to lower the idle speed on my Honda Accord because it went up so dramatically. After I switched back (the stuff was REALLY expensive back then) it would barely stay running at idle until I kicked it back up again.<BR/><BR/>I think you'll find that the speed thing was just coincidental. Keep tabs on your gas mileage and that will tell you something.GunGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217451122521161867noreply@blogger.com
