Sounds like the program messes with the transient response.

This is my apperception of aftermarket tuners. No genuine effect on steady-state mpg, but works well for less-than-sensitive drivers in around town stop-n-go. While I admit or agree that some tuners seem to improve steady-state, one has to eliminate any and all changes from OEM to make a viable claim, first. (There are those claims from some with reasonable certification).

Thanks for the lab numbers, Dave. I remember (quite some long time ago) my initial reading in the history of science and the (seemingly) weird emphasis on accurate time-keeping as a precondition to observations, and not just those of astronomy and navigation (as a teenager, all is supposed to reveal itself instantly). Should have thought more carefully about my musical training instead, and of metronomic beat.

Time made visible.

P&G is a funny imposition on the "natural" order of things . . at first.
