Where is the RPM increase? I open the throttle to maintain vehicle speed. Speed maintained means RPMs are maintained. Transmission is a conventional 5-speed, not variable ratio. We have confirmation of a more open throttle, which does not necessarily mean more fuel if lean burn is in use. It just means more air.
No matter. I certainly encourage folks building systems with custom mapping of engine parameters. There's plenty opportunity for innovation there.
Meanwhile, I'll continue getting about 40 mpg in winter and even better in the summer, in a car that cost about a tenth the price of a Prius.
