The way you lay out your thoughts and numbers on paper is amazing!

Sorry, buddy - it's just the instructor instinct in me that won't go away!

For some reason, I feel the need to "explain" things, even when I don't know what I'm talking about!

However, the cost/benefit ratio of using high octane gas vs "regular" is pretty straightforward.

I'm MOST interested in submitting to Corey a rewrite of the "Custom Options" section of the Gryphon manual. This COULD be a problem, of course, since it's really an Edge manual and is protected by copyright. But, it is obviously a very poorly understood process, and, I'd like to make it more easy to understand.

I know it's taken me at least a year to absorb what I have about this "feature". And, I'm still not sure I've gotten it right! :o

The engineer in me loves numbers! If the input values are correct, the results don't lie! The trick is to find valid input values. And, it's easy to overlook something or see input data in the wrong way. My thought that HIDs ran "hotter" than normal headlights is an example of that "misthinking".

But, Lars, I appreciate your support, and I enjoy trading thoughts with you!

Great post Jack, I really haven't had the time to run the numbers since I got my gryphon ( I usually do a log everytime I fill up) but just eyeballing it, I am getting better mileage on the higher octane, not sure of the percentage yet. But also I have been having to much fun with it to get some accurate numbers down

Jack,

I think you rewriting the "Custom Options" for the Gryphon Manual is an EXCELLENT idea!! or heck, the whole manual.. Your right about it being and Edge manual and protected by a copyright. But what if you were to make up your own version, not make it part of the manual but instead offer it to us as your version for PHP forum members. A person that purchases a Gryphon is going to eventually become a member of this forum or already is, so why not offer it here. You can surely charge for it. I'd be willing to purchase one from you..or maybe you can work something out with Corey where she can post it here on the forum...something.. I just dont know if its legal to do or not.. I'm sure it might even cut down on alot of Coreys daily phone calls and Bill's for that matter and they'd be able to get alot more work done.. I dont know what the majority of there calls are for but im sure a good percentage might be about troubleshooting because the manual didnt explain good enough, but i could be wrong.

I know from our PM's alone i printed all your information and im keeping it as a manual per say.. I sure would love if you did something like that and went through every function of the Gryphon in detail. Im sure alot others would to.. Were not all pro's that buy these things, there's alot of rookies, and i'm one of them.
