I will not let other teams pass the diesel one, and I want a 83.3mpg tank

I'm working on two electrical projects :
  • one to disable the heat plugs. I calculated that in my daily commute when I P&G they may be the cause of 10% of my consumption... (the beta version permits to avoid nearly half heating once the engine is hot )
  • the other is to find a signal I can monitor with a simple voltmeter to give me a rough indication about how much the engine is consuming (my old diesel has mechanical injectors )

May be a POE of 100% all year long ?
Sadly temperatures are falling, I have to switch on lights in the morning and traffic is back to be the worst in France... If I can stay near last tank average then this will be a success

Have fun,

Denis.
