Thanks TOHCan - jeesh 1600 rpm at 70 ticks slower than a clock! :-)
Well Robert, it's super-easy to assume that's the case but it's not. I barely get 20 mpg. I'm due for another test since I've recently had the carb/timing tweaked.
Talk to Bjorn and company. They seem to advocate turning slightly higher revs, and yet they see as good or better mileage than I do. There's chatting going around that the engine needs to turn faster than 2,000 or so to be optimally efficient. I'm not qualified to issue an informed opinion. Part of me says, "Slower is better" and part of me makes a reasonable assumption that there is a "sweet spot" in revs and throttle setting that might yield better mileage.
