Hey Tracy,
Did you get the broken seals I sent yet?
Probably no time to look at them with the trip and all - so go ahead keep us in
suspense (at least me) for another two - three weeks {:>)

Good point. High octane burns slower so more advance is required,
all else being equal.

Remember
that ED is using 100LL. Would that make a difference?

That is about the only thing that can make a basically healthy engine
give such higher fuel burn. (retarded ignition timing).
Anyway, glad you found the extra efficiency & power. Even with
a bit more weight & drag, your -6 should not have been that much
different than my -4.

I would expect ignition timing to be advanced right through 30-35
degrees with LOP operation.
It would appear as very high octane fuel to the rotary. If you notice
EGT go up slightly with leaning, that is the cause.
