I disagree.
The pitch at the Major looks pretty consistent.
Flanged head, black oxide bolts are almost always hardened, typically grade 8. They don’t stretch, they break.
I agree with the others…..the alternator would be my first guess.
If I worried about fuel costs I certainly would not have bought either vehicle….lol
Both things are true actually
The mileage is pretty close, 1-1 1/2 mpg but the increase in HP is noticeable. Both vehicle get a 10%+ increase in HP if you go by factory spec
Worst part for me is the power band...
What board?
Explain
Sending unit?
You mean the transducer?
If so, depending on the model and features, could be anywhere from 3 to 7 wires in that cable..
Try removing the transducer and network cable, if installed, from the unit and try again. If the unit has power and still will not come...
Two of my three vehicles are turbo GDI.
I see a slight bump running 93 octane (compression over 10:1) but gas mileage has held steady since a slight increase after break in.
In both cases, your 12% would be roughly 2.2 to 2.5 miles to the gallon. Pretty sure the check engine light would come...
Almost 25 years has passed since the ethanol hysteria began yet myths and misconceptions still abound.
Ethanol resistant fuel lines have been the norm in since 1986. Highly recommend changing 39 years or older fuel lines prior to switching to E10 fuels.
Looks like you can pickup a 5", EchoMap UHD2 chartplotter for $399.
Gives you half decent sonar and Navionics "Inland"maps

Caution when comparing units.... "base maps" are pretty useless
No… but a bad /failing high pressure fuel pump will cause all kinds of issues with an EFI
Fuel rail hold pressure at shut down or immediately go to 0?
Running a 10 micron fuel filter?
Cleaned the VST?
When is the last time you had the injectors cleaned?
