higher engine load ok for hypermiling?
Is it ok to increase engine load if my air fuel ratio stays the same when accelerating? My car stays stoich under 2400rpm below ~95% Manifold Pressure (city driving). However on the highway if i exceed 80% load because of higher RPMs car goes open loop instantly. I have been targeting 70% MAP/LOD and shifting at 2500rpm with great results, thats usually faster than flow of traffic, but i like accelerating and changing gears quickly sometimes.
