Dissapointing to say the least, especially for the first full tank with the alternator-switch. The alternator was switched "off" for about 80% of the tank.
Yeah, that's a bit perplexing.

Were there any other changes? Had you somehow adjusted your driving style thinking alternator-off was compensating?

You need a MPGuino! (Did I miss the latest chapter in the SuperMID build? What happened there?)
