Even if it only used half a gallon while i warmed up the engine and checked/adjusted the mixture, it still shows as an improvement so it's going the right way.

I'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks and maybe top up again then, get another figure for comparison.
I wasn't doubting your calculations Dave. Let's hope it is solved and the next fill up will confirm 26 MPG :-)

Stay safe,

Alan
