I don't think fuel is used to lubricate the compression rings, but I am not sure. I remember driving a minivan (2004 Chrysler T&C) for work once and when coasting at highways speeds the instantaneous gas mileage indicator always showed "--.-". It could be that there is just a minute amount of fuel injected, but it seems less likely to me.

Any SG peeps here that can confirm or debunk?
