Here is the question. The fuel flow rate per hour is still the same numbers roughly. Wouldn't the larger injectors flow more fuel per hour? And if so, shouldn't that have changed my readout?
Generic OBD2 readers guess fuel consumption from airflow, they do not measure fuel flow at all. This is a notoriously unreliable method for many modern cars that use MAP sensors. You could double fuel flow and you'd still get the same reading.

FWIW, my SGII shows 1.5l/hr at idle for my 2.5, which is really high compared to the ~0.6 people report for their 1.9's. You can't trust OBD for fuel in TDi's it seems.
