Thank you Chap !! I read that in the forums. At the "clinic tour day" of my club, the experts told me it was idling nice. I only have the right hand lever 1 or 2 notches down when driving, but to tell you the truth, I only feel a change in acceleration when I go below the middle. I will use it now at the top. Will test it this weekend.
