I think I finally found it, the guys name was Frank Walker...

So if you fancy it's worth a read.

Wow, he lived less than 50 miles from me before he died. Thanks for the link!

just throwing it out there as you kind of called me out about the mileage....

and from my limited knowledge... after all, I am just a polish farmer.... most target WOT AFRs are in the low to mid 11's (11.3 - 11.5) so I would say if you are in the 12's, you are running a bit lean, and on the opposite side, if you dip into the 10's, a bit rich. tons of other other factors to consider, but just generalizing.

I didn't mean to call you out, I was simply being skeptical. I just wanted to understand what the heck is going on if you're seeing less than a 15% hit fuel economy with a fuel that requires 30-50% more volume to get the same energy out.

Like exdeath says, 9s and 10s in the AFRs are margins for safety, not great for power, and there is a heck of a difference between 10:1 and mid-11s. Maybe there are big differences in your spark map too that contribute to difference in fuel consumption.
