Driving with a fairly heavy right foot, does 19 mpg (mostly city) sound about right? Or is it on a low side and should be checked out? Thanks. |

That's actually pretty good for spirited driving. If you can drive zippy without going in to power enrichment mode you might even push it above the twenty mark.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

^ Yeah! If PE was enabled in a stock prom. Which it's not.
 19's fine. You'll probably see ~25 with straight highway. (oh, the above IS based on a US gallon right? 3.78L? If you did it based on a 4.54L gallon.... then it's only so-so) |

You're telling me the car does not go in to open loop at WOT?

It does (go into open loop).
But that's not PE. That's in a different spot in the code. I could print off the tables (only about 15 pages) and show you if you like. |

Oh, if you have them around, I'd actually love to see that kind of stuff, I always find ECU stuff interesting. Is it possible to PM them though? I feel kind of guilty for derailing the thread.

Not really. I'd have to bring my laptop sometime and show you.
We now continue, with the mileage thread already in progress. |

Oh right, like that's ever stopped you previously.

It's never bothered me to send a thread off on a different tangent.
