I never did resolve this issue. As you can see in the ScanGauge, the water temp is 195 (cycles between about 190-197, breaks 200 briefly in heavy stop-n-go). Temp need isn't quite in the middle. Here's a pic (finally):
I'm getting about 13 mpg (230 miles to a tank).
The real question is: because the temp gauge isn't reading "in the middle", is the computer getting wrong info and selecting a fuel table that's too rich (like the warm up cycle)? Or is my crappy mileage because it's wintertime, I'm geared with 4.56s, and I'm SAS'd? Lots of factors.
