Know what Ruben?   Bet if the guy keeps his foot outta the carb throat, he's getting better mileage!  Most of the time, anything you do to improve performance like that guy did, also helps economy..... IF you go easy on the pedal.   Stomp on that puppy though, and you could watch the fuel guage drop, :)
