NachtRitter, The post by MetroMPG on testing was very good. I'm skeptical whether one can get an accurate test without quite a few runs or some really good instrumentation to measure the fuel used. I'm not sure a scanguage would give reliable MPG numbers when changing the driving style so much. It might still be work doing tho.

MetroMPG, Nice post on testing by the way. Method 2 isn't pure constant speed, but Method 1 isn't pure DWL either. Method 2 is mostly constant speed with a little pulse at the end. Then both methods glide.

t_vago, For something that is taken as gospel by the ecomodder forum I would think there would be some proof or testing to show the effectiveness of it. I have seen arguments, but but not convincing. Science and engineering is rarely accomplished with just words. You don't have to prove your case & I don't have to prove my case, you can have your beliefs and I can have my skepticism.

Perhaps you guys are right and I'm an idiot, perhaps it works for some cars, or some conditions. For now, I remain skeptical.
