Man, you are spending a lot of energy trying to refute what Jake says. Certainly Jake knows a lot about the T-IV and appears to get considerably more out of them than was originally designed in. Probably a lot of people don't believe the 38mpg thing, but it isn't the end of the world so who gives a damn and why get caught in a flame war. At work we make FI systems, but we used to make 40,000 4-barrel carbs a day and lots of the older guys still laugh about the tales of an 80mpg carburetor that would show up in Popular Mechanics, and how the 'Big Bad Oil and Car Companies were withholding it'. It's easier to chuckle and move on, because quoting formulas and other technical approaches is sure to ignite the whole "Engineers don't know *****" argument before long, and you can probably search the archives and find a dozen of those, some of which I got entwined in. Now I have other things to do, and in fact all of the bickering and sounding like a bunch of hens has dulled my interest in the car.
