I might be calling this cable by the wrong name, but it is similar to several automatic trans I've encountered. Anyway, I messed with this cable on my 1984 300D. I would normally mark the starting point, but ever since I turned it several times thinking to make it shift smooth. I messed it is up, but finally I've been lengthening the cable by turning it CW. this time I made a mark, so I am at the point where it shifts smooth and I can get on the throttle and it would downshift.

The bottom line my MPG increased dramatically since I've been turning this cable CW 1/4 at a time. Can someone educate me how this affects fuel consumption and performance. The car has plenty of performance of the line and rolling accel. Thanks in advance.

The timing is advance and the ALDA is 1/4 CW from full CCW, straight pipe exhaust and CAI.
