[Tigers] Extending driving range

[Rob Bernardino]

I would err on the side of safety and say no. I commute 25 miles each day in my Tiger and have recently found the best fix is increase you mpg. Inflate the tires higher, run a hardtop. Actually the best fix was fortuitous. Car was recently stalling and had the MDS system switched out for petronix. That and perhaps running the car on the lean side gives me 17-18 mpg.
