I gained a little over 2 mpg after the changes. Not a huge amount, but she is running great, no fuel fumes when running and still running at 4-5 bars today with 94 ( not correct) degrees on the air temp guage.

Freebob... 
Your calculator did not take into consideration that he has a Fuel Safe auxiliary fuel cell in his front trunk.  You should check out his mods thread, as it is very impressive.

Yep. Like I said, I was a little surprised too but I check each tank when I fill up to see if any changes are working. Apparently, they are.

Sorry about that. I got a call from the International Space Station the other day asking me if I could tone things down a bit. I told them I would take it under consideration, but probably not.

Nope. I have been diligent on checking this each time. RPM's kept at or below 5500, speed kept at no more than 70, unless passing or catching up to group. Its just a test to see how personal throttle control, use of the cruise and fuel mapping can change the mpg of the rotax.
