But you've got red ones pushing you from behind and EVERYONE knows red ones
are faster!

 

Get fucked!

 

Oh is THAT what they mean when someone whispers to you that other blokes cox
have been sneaking around cutting your grass!
I dunno what I was worried about!

 

I don't know, but I will be in between rotations, and it looks like I'll be
OK.

Thems better not be pretend words ya city livin' auto drivin' nancy boy,
weako shouldero.

Will Rhonda be able to carry you Charlie and the scope?

....and it's all about me, whilst I spread disinformation...

 

I'd reckon that the trip computer doesn't even HAVE a flow-meter! (Or at
least doesn't have one that measures flow that accurately)
I reckon it just measures the RPM and throttle position (and maybe 10 other
inputs) and gives you the pre-calculated result.
I can't really believe that anyone at Holden thought that having the
litres-per-hour readout absolutely-accurate would be anything worth spending
any money/time/effort on.
But then I'm a natural sceptic.

 

Goes to insert joke (and thinks better of it).

Hammo

....it's all about me!!

 

Hey Nev; what's it do when the air is switched on?
Does the idle drop or stay the same?
Of course aircon is a much larger load than just headlights but it might
indicate if your engine computer is automatically compensating or not.

 

Sheesh GB; what are you a Hammo virgin?
He didn't say the battery got charged up; just that he ran the headlights
for 10 minutes and used no fuel!
(The battery will get charged up tomorrow when he runs the engine!)

 

.....no-one expects a Spanish inquisition, in fact those that do......

...and waste suggests that someone has determined the amount, and attributed
it to being something that is significant. Plus there are situations where
it is bollocks.

Cos it's all about ME! (and Dale is getting sooky).

Hammo

 

No; it actuates the injector the exact amount that it's been told to for the
conditions it's measured.
It then displays the exact mpg (L/Hr, Km per kilojoule or whatever) that's
it's been told to display too.

But it doesn't have any idea what a litre actually is and it certainly
doean't have any ability to actually measure one!

 

Yeah, what a nong!

Actually, I'm gonna use solar power!

Hammo

 

Eh?

It's measured, but it can't measure?

Hammo

 

Now thats wrong in so many ways .

 

You're the one who suggested the people should go out to their garage
and perform the experiment for themselves with their cars.

That it has been attributed to being something that is significant was merely your assumption.

Equally there are situations where it is not bollocks and where quantity is irrelevant, no matter how much you throw a tanty, stamp
your feet and proclaim it to be so..

I must have hit a nerve there if you've resorted to dragging it throughout the thread. You still haven't cottoned on to intentions
and what I was on about in the first place with that comment. C'mon Hammo, it's obvious if you think about it. Keep trying.

Maybe I should have given you a smiley face to help you.

 

No no no! You need blue paint at the back, and red paint at the front.
Blue light has more energy than red, so the blue light reflecting
backwards would push you forward faster than the red light reflecting
from the front could push you back. Sheesh!

Strangely enough, the Camira engine speed increases when the a/c is
switched on. I think that's the ECU overcompensating for the extra load,
though.

That would be due to the air-con compressor not being driven by the engine, more the other way around. It starts up and runs at a
higher speed than the engine does at idle.

 

Trip computer Clem, if you are really worried about fuel consumption don't
buy a V8.

That's what I mean by 'injector open time' ... the length of the pulse.
Sum that up over each pulse. Multiply the whole this by the injectors'
flow rate and the number of injectors and bingo! There's your fuel
flow.

The fudge factor is because a given injector takes a certain time to
open after the pulse starts and a certain time to close after the pulse
stops, and they're not always quite equal.

The first term is often constantish too, because the fuel rail
pressure is often regulated relative to the inlet manifold pressure.

Actually, you could get relative fuel flow rate just by snooping on
the injector timing, although since closed-loop EFIs wander around
stoich you'd have to average it over a lot of pulses to get anything
meaningful out.
