Inhowfar does it cut off air intake flow on DFCO?
I imagine that the cat will cool down quickly if you keep pumping air through without burning fuel with it, but it won't if the air is stagnant. And it will not offset the oxygen balance then.

I ask because the Insight lifts the valves in DFCO/EV mode to reduce pumping losses.
I expect it does not pump air towards the exhaust.

I set my UG instant economy readout to l/100 km, so the lower it reads the less fuel is used.
During DFCO it reads 0.00.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
