Thanks for the alert! That's a good point. It may be too late for my Previa but now I know. Luckily, I mostly drive a Prius now except for deliveries.

In a fuel injected engine, don't the injectors stop the second you turn off the ignition? There may still be some un-burnt fuel coming in at the last second though but surely not for the whole spin down.

Can this be observed with the MPGuino or scanguage?
