I somehow suspect you're messing with me here.

Irrelevant, but I still think you should calculate it. Fuel pressure and injector flow rate are relatively constant, so it should be a simple matter to calculate the average duty cycle on the injectors, right? Yeah, I'm mostly just yankin' your chain. I'm fiddling with a fuel consumption calculator device and I'm too lazy to look up the flow rate on the injectors. I think you should do it for me. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger"
