[Mark Eidson]

It seems that if you have capability and desire to play with you system that
MAP is a good choice becasue it is simpler/cheaaper to implement physically.
I have noticed the effect of acceleration and deceleration on mixture on my
system but don't have the capability to compensate for it.  me
