I need to know...
Hello all,
Is there any way to program (reprogram) the car or modify the car in a way to get better mileage in lower gears and/or assist in getting up to speed much more quickly to reduce fuel consumption by accelerating harder to reach top gear?
A manual transmission swap is out of the question for me. I wish I had more than 4 gears to use as well as torque converter lockup at each shift.
Acceleration is one of the major detriments to fuel economy, along with aerodynamic drag and weight of course.
I feel that this one of the last frontiers for me to overcome to achieve "hypermiling bliss".
