I also tried that Baylor method without success. When I did the drip method it was not clear to me just when the exact point was reached and I never felt quite confident that I had done it as good as it could have been done. Guess its just a matter of which ever way you get used too. With that bubble method there seemed to be two things that I noticed that made it easy for me 1) no messy fuel dripping into a can that I had to hold on to and 2) there was no "gray area", when the bubbles stopped, you are "there". I guess what I am saying is from my perspective as a "new guy" at this, the bubbles were easier for me to comprehend.

Getting 31.5 mpg from 28.5 mpg is quite a nice "payback". I wish I had checked my MPG before the "operation"
