I know "Squelch" is a knob on my CB radio, that controls the cutoff level for background noise vs. signal.

Thanks for all the help. I agree its not cost effective and sounds like it could be detrimental overall..

BTW...BLUERAUDER....how does 15 miles up and 15 miles back = 1.25 gals.

Since I do mostly city, I never see mileage above 15/gal...so thats more like 2 gals.

I did say a minimum of 1.25 gallons. I gave you the conservative estimate and assumed you could get 24 MPG and use the highway to get to the station 15 miles away. Anything less is worse.

Lock out the throttle to limit use to the first 1/4.

Disconnect your COPS on 4 cyclinders.

It will drive like a Yugo.

I don't think this will work -- won't the computer go nuts? Also, on variable displacement cars, they stop sending fuel and spark to the cylinders -- you'd be totally wasting the fuel to the dead cylinders without burning it. I think you'd get worse, not better, gas mileage this way, since you would not be getting the hp from the wasted fuel.
