Tempting, ain't it?

What we're after is not using
less fuel, but using
even less.
And if you don't have to key off (kill switch?), then your PS, airbags, etc., should still work (mine do).

I tried using 'Hybrid' mode when playing with EO(ff)C, but in my case not only did the SGII turn off after a few seconds, but fuel consumption was total nonsense. I admit that was before I had my kill switch, so MAYBE it won't turn off if I don't turn the key, but the consumption will still be random. Also, even if SGII doesn't freeze up, it may or may not be getting all the info it needs: my factory installed FC computer doesn't register distance when EO(ff)C, but the odometer does. SGII - I haven't checked yet. I won't be driving before Saturday, and even then I'll be with the Wife, so I may not be able to do too many experiments with the engine off, but if I try something I'll let you know.
Maybe SGII needs a new mode, 'Diesel + Hybrid'?
