More bad news...

That 3.5 cents/litre tax is TAXED at 7% by the feds! AND, the transit tax is going up next month too!

If everyone in BC combined refueled last night before the price went up, Campbell would get a great deal less money.
Thanks for doing the math for us - on one person that is.

Actually you might find that your car becomes more fuel efficient with a small cam. As long as you keep the revs down

I know when I did my work my fuel efficiency went up a lil, altho that could be due to Matt's excellent mechanic skillz and/or the fact that my car needed a good tuneup.

Sorry i didnt realize the cam was large....

All I know is that after heads and cam I get better fuel efficiency then I did before. Unless I stomp on it (more air = more fuel).

I am sure things change as you increase the overlap and lose efficiency down low in the RPMs
