Maybe I'm in line to learn something here, or relearn something I'd 
forgotten?

Mostly, I've been keeping my foot out of the secondaries on this ride, 
and the primaries should be giving me better fuel mileage than the 20 
that I'm getting, imo.  There are other factors involved, of course, but 
at the moment I'm looking at this aspect of it.

Thanks for the tip Frank, as I often tend to use primary carbs in the 
secondary position.
