If you mess with air-fuel ratio and other sensors, then get MPGuino - it measures real fuel usage. Things that connenct into OBD2 port are calculating fuel usage - you mess with sensors, you mess-up fuel calculation.

^^yep, because it bases fuel consumption on the pulses of the injectors and size of the engine, you mess change the amount of fuel injected per pulse and it screws everything up (as far as accuracy, though this could "help" him even though we know the truth)

@Meelis.

Thanks for single window information on MPGuino. It's a little masterpiece This is a definite DIY for me. However, it's just a computer, and honest calibration inputs are still required, LOL!!

Erich.

I know I'm re-stirring the hornets nest here, but...

If I were peddling this super-amazing mega-efficient system I made from £50 worth of parts, I'd be patenting my product and pitching it at Honda, Toyota etc...?

Not spending the last 4 years 'not selling it' to people who 'don't want it...?' on a fuel economy website!

(Call it a Flux Capacitor and I might be interested...)
