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? ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

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. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

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.
