Hi,

Just got my ScanGuage II and I've been messing around with it. I haven't tested Engine Load in Neutral while moving yet. But, I have done a little testing while at stop lights. It seems the Engine load is slightly greater when In D4 at a stop rather than put in Neutral. I get around 34 LOD in drive and around 30 LOD in neutral stopped. I'm wondering if that will make any difference with the MPG or if it's not even worth it.

I'll do some tests with LOD while in neutral while I'm coasting next week. Though I have an automatic which switches off the fuel injector while in coast anyway. If this is the case maybe it wouldn't make any difference?
