[s-cars] Alternatives to RS2 Injectors - related Q

[Mark Strangways]

You show better gas mileage because the ECU is using a shorter duty cycle
with the larger injectors.
Since you have not had your injector size value in the ecu changed (Mihnea
enter here) your ecu is calculating the fuel economy based on what it thinks
the injector size, and it's duty cycle. So it feels as if it is not nearly
burning the same amount of fuel.

What to do ?
a) Talk to Mihnea about setting your injector size into the software,
or
b) Enjoy the illusion that your getting really good fuel economy.

Fill the tank, reset the tripometer, and log how many miles you get to that
tank. Then calculate the real fuel economy
