Fuel milage is controlled with your foot. Don't need a plate for that...

the plate just supplies a profile or a curve for the gov arm to follow

if you have a boost gauge then just watch it .....the more boost ya use the fuel ya use, look at it as a work or load gauge

leave the fuel plate out if you drive it right you can easily get 20 mpg just watch boost and smoke the more you smoke the less mpg you get.

I agree on the foot.

And I think a 100 plate is pretty good for still making quite a bit of power, and just adjust its position.
