If you f*ck off all the calibration for the emissions I have no doubt you can really improve the ecomony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 5m 3d Posted 19/09/14 11:12 PM Share Posted 19/09/14 11:12 PM The in car economy reader is no where near accurate. I reset mine when I filled up and I done 110 kay's then filled up again and had used 26 litres of eflex. And the in car reader said I was doing 17l per hundred. It's not accurate.

I'm guessing when I'm under full throttle now it goes above what it can read and that's when it uses the fuel.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 23d Gender: Male Posted 20/09/14 02:42 AM Share Posted 20/09/14 02:42 AM I think its relatively accurate if you are on closed loop all the time.The O2 sensor gives it a reference point where it can calculate the fuel quite well.However if you are on open loop WOT then it could be off by quite a bit I would think.In regards to the Cat Control affecting fuel economy. These can be disabled and I will do a back to back to see how much it affects fuel economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
