Please explain since I obviously don't understand.
No, the 'lie' math has absolutely nothing to do with wide open throttle. The math is for normal driving with normal throttle use. The math simply takes the weight of air that ACTUALLY goes through the engine and compares it to the weight of fuel that ACTUALLY goes through the engine during NORMAL vehicle operation.

You can confirm this by using your own scan gauge on your own vehicle just like I show you. I never mention anything about wide open throttle.

Can you tell me why you think I'm talking about wide open throttle?
