Nah...he should leave it . Gas is on the way back up since the holidays are over.
We will be back over $2.50 a gal VERY soon.
lol, and people said gas will never be below $2.00 a gal again, too bad the world economy is down, and as long as the economy is down, you will see gas go lower before it will go higher. It takes years for the world economy to recover.

lol...economics 101 supply and demand.
The demand is what made the price go lower while the supply was high. OPEC decreased production over a month ago so it's only a matter of time for the demand to outpace the supply.Thus we will see higher prices in short order.
I'm a business and economics major. lol, the reason prices went up so high was because people were buying stock "futures" and inflating the actual worth of oil. The demand has dropped because the economy has slowed down, but the prices you were paying at the pump before prices dropped were a result of the guys over in the stock market, not the oil producing countries.

I don't understand how people don't feel the knock stock when they let off the acceleration. When you let the car coast when still in gear the valves use a setting to help slow down acceleration and they open differently. This causes the car to run pretty rough sometimes and, from what I can feel, knock.
I am completely stock with the dashhawk. I do not get this kind of knock. The most I have gotten is about 2 knock retard and it is very random and happens hardly ever. But only does happen during a light partial throttle. Never consistanty like you have reported.
I got the DH before any mods so that I can compare the stock settings and logs with future logs after modifications.

okay that is very interesting as well. It's really hard to make any sense of all of this but it deffinatly helps getting input from a stock ecu vehicle. I have now been on my stock reflash for a few days and my knock retard is also no longer present. Very seldom and very small. The only thing I can determine, at least in my case is that the Cobb maps are causing knock on my motor. I hope when Cobb releases more maps other than betas that they will tune the car well, and do it safely.
