That's a good point Mark.

Jay could publish his AirCare results or just his VIN - then anybody can
look up his AirCare history and see the difference between the WBX and the
Zetec.

Dixie needs to go through AirCare before July 9th and I'll share the
results.  I'm very interested myself to see the difference between the 2.1
WBX and the 2.5 Subaru motor.

It won't be an entirely direct comparison because I've swapped transaxles as
well but it should be fairly representative.
