Having just done a complete timing belt replacement including camshaft seals on my 1995 non-turbo 850 I got to wondering about camshaft timing and fuel economy. On this and many of the newer engines it is slightly adjustable. There is an extensive thread on this and performance but he did not record his gas mileage.

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this? With current and future fuel prices a few more mpg or more important fuel$/mile (octane cost vs mileage) would be a big plus.
