^ maybe we should make a joint appearance once you've got that rad-ass little wagon sitting where you like it 
So, I filled the tank today, and other than the usual bullshit with convincing the attendant that my car does indeed take diesel (a constant fight around here), I noticed something interesting about my fuel economy. Namely, the Bowden cable adjustment seems to have helped dramatically:
Before adjustment: 23.3 MPG average
After adjustment: 27.9 MPG
Now, this is just one tank I'm comparing here, and it had a little highway driving on it whereas I usually only put city miles on the car, but still, that's pretty rad. I figure that with the car shifting at 3k all the time, I was basically lugging the motor everywhere and into the throttle way more than I needed to be.
So there ya go. This might just be turning into a Celli bullshit thread. STANCE WILL BE HAPPENING SOON, I SWEAR.
