Default Need volunteers for a study of gas mileage (DPFI->MPFI)

I'm collecting data for a website I am putting together. The purpose of hte website is to test engine modifications and their effect on gas mileage.

Since the jury is still out on if MPFI helps or hurts gas mileage, I decided to conduct a small study myself.

The study would simply require you to make a few trips in your vehicle and log the gas mileage after each trip. The trips are to be made while your car is still DPFI, and then after you upgrade to MPFI.

Small things must be controlled to reduce the chance of error, but those details will be given to those who wish to participate.

If you are at all interested in participating, or if you have experienced either an increase or decline in gas mileage after the MPFI swap, please contact me via PM here or email me at simateoako@hotmail.com
