Driving for fun, wasting gas, but not much.
I took a 27 mile run around some country roads this morning for fun. I managed 81.5 mpg at 34 mph ave for the closed circuit. It was nice not having so many stop lights. Going that way adds about...

As mentioned above the screw just adjusts the idle mixture. It will be almost not relevant to power, pinging, or heat. The engine might stumble at bit on a cold start. The questions you are...
