Oh, but that's a dangerous assumption! "Terrible mileage"? Are any of us getting "terrible mileage"? I get between 25 and 28 mpg (US) from a 1/3 city - 2/3 freeway driving style. I don't consider thi

As far as I am aware, the "advance it until it pings" advice is sound. In practical terms, this should be altered to "advance it until it stops performing better", which may or may not coincide with

It's bordering on pedantic perhaps, but DRIVERS accelerate cars quicker. The motor just gives you the means. It's akin to the oft-abused phrase "Guns don't kill people; people kill people". I fail to
