Today I dremeled off the cap on my alda, and then adjusted it a good 1 and 3/4 counter clockwise turns.....WOW

My car hauls like never before, not *that* much smoke either.....barely anything visible in the daylight, especially if I am driving gently. I stopped using mystery oil the last fillup, and report a 5.5mpg increase in mileage.....I had a super high concentration of MMO in there on the previous couple of tanks, and I was down to 18.2mpg average...

So by stopping it for two tanks I jumped up to an average of 22.8mpg! I think I was using wayyy too much MMO, that was the problem. From now on I am going to use it only occassionally, and probably just do an occassional purge instead. In a couple weeks I will be changing the oil over from Delvac 1300Super to Shell Rotella T.......ordered the items needed from fastlane last night.

Now if only it'd get a little warmer than 14 deg's out
