How to get instant fuel consumption from Megasquirt
This works for MS1-Extra/MSnS-E, combat proven. Most probably will also work for MS2. No vehicle speed input is required ;) .
Data we must know beforehand:
- 5th gear ratio
- Differential ratio
- Tractive wheel perimeter in centimeters
- Injector flow in cc
For instance in a Miata NA 1.6 the data are:
- 0.814
- 4.300
- 181.4583917 cm
- 205 cc
Then input the data into this formula:
RPM = ((((100*100000)/60)/wheel perimeter)*(5th gear ratio*differential ratio))
For the Miata:
RPM = ((((100*100000)/60)/181.4583917)*(0.814*4.300)) = 3215 (this will be the magic number)
Now open with notepad the msns-extra.ini file, the path is C:\Program files\MegaSquirt\your-project-car-name\msns-extra.ini . Then choose your way ...
OPTION ONE: FOR LITRES/100KM DISPLAY
Look for this paragraph towards the end of the file:

In 'fuelCC' we must enter the injector flow, times number of injectors (if simultaneous injection). Or injector flow, times number of injectors, divided by 2 (if batch injection). For this particular Miata it is (205*4)/2 = 410 :
