Thanks all. Is the injector kill switch somewhat easy to do? The one time I tried EOC with the Ultra Gauge, I noticed a quick drop in L/100km.

But I've been using pulse & glide, gliding with the engine on, I did 7.6 L/100km (31 MPG) in mostly suburban driving -- 80km/h speed limits, traffic lights every few hundred metres to every few kms, steady afternoon rush hour traffic. I typically do 9.6L/100km. I'd be very happy if I can consistently hit these numbers. Canada still uses the old EPA method for testing fuel economy so my car is rated 8.1L/100km or 30 MPG on the highway vs. 25 MPG using the new EPA.
