And that's amazing how much you can save if you have real time FE monitoring.
It appears the AAZ lump in my car has a mechanical pump- And I, for one, am glad of it

should be relatively simple to increase output and torque between fuel pump and turbo (both manually adjustable)- meaning I can use smaller throttle settings for the same torque.

the only downside is that the mechanical pump means no DFCO- if the engine is spinning, the pump is pumping..

However, I have a cunning plan- I can set the idle point lower than the current 980rpm, and just knock the car into neutral approaching roundabouts/junctions/lights etc

also, I'm chasing you down.. 338.7 miles so far, on less than 1/2 of a 55L tank
