I have a $3 eBay ELM327 bluetooth dongle paired with my smartphone I used to keep an eye on load until I got a feel for it. |
So where, or how did you get this chart for your engine? I'd like to get one for my truck.
And, for those like me, who really didn't/don't understand the whole pulse and glide concept, take a look here at this autospeed page:
