Well
this weekend I tilled the area that I am making the veg garden. I also got 2 cubic yards of nice rich topsoil to add to the garden. I Got my metal posts & rabbit guard fencing to section it off. Hopefully it will keep the bunny out of there.
BTW, the eggplant has begun to sprout!!!!

I am going to back post son this topic. This is very cool.
After only 1 week I have seedlings for Spinach, Carrots, Tomatoes, & Squash growing in!
Here's one of my trays!

Today's Weather!

"Weather out here today is hot and shitty... with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon round-up." ... Roosevelt E. Roosevelt

Test results

I don't usually put 100 miles in a week but for testing purposes I have been using the Trac to take my son to school. Since I saw the Hess station had gas for $2.45 I decided to fill up. I put 98 miles on the Trac.

With a setting of 275mv as a base to the O2 sensors, driving only local, the Trac averaged 13.9 mpg which was 2.7% less than my mpg with the EFIE set at 350mv which was 14.3 yet better than my base mpg of 13mpg. If you recall at 350mv the Trac ran like crap.

Now it's a matter of tweaking.
I raised the base mv to the O2 sensors to 300mv. The truck still runs smooth with no loss in power or performance.

I will post in another 100 miles what my findings are.

As a footnote, I did note one thing, at idle she seems to burn more gasoline & less hydrogen. I am wondering if I should T the Hydrogen line with a check valve and run a feed directly to the intake manifold. This will allow the the Trac to feed on more hydrogen at idle.
I will have to look into this.
