I installed an injector kill switch with a friend. It cuts-off the ground. When I time it right, the UG does not even go black temporarily. But it has always been the case that in the "run" position, with the injectors off, the speed average starts climbing steadily, almost as if it is calculating distance traveled in some unknown metric.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
