P plate training ...not

The fuel computer on the Holden 5.7 litre is not very accurate so it is
unlikely to provide the information required.

LOL. It's OK hammo. You'll get it one day......maybe.

 

Nothing cuts it like a Cox...

 

I get 10.0 on the highway too.. I've done Melbourne to Adelaide on a
tank a few times. Around 14.3 in Melbourne, but then I don't drive in
the city or inner suburbs often, or in peak hour traffic ever, and a lot
of the commuting I do is on a freeway or 70 & 80kph roads with minimal
controlled intersections.

KLX300 - 26km/l. city. 0-110km/h in about 150m .. gotta be happy
widdat.

 

Enough of the silly monkeys. Just explain whatever it is you are
avoiding. How does the engine management computer figure out the fuel
flow rate?

The mechanical resistance provided by the connection to the alternator
is constant, irrespective of whether that is a belt, chain or a bunch of
rods, and irrespective of the load on the electrical system. Adding
extra electrical load cannot possibly convert into mechanical disadvantage.

I think your critics are thinking of their bicycles with dynamo powered
headlights More electrical load might make you discover that you
need to push harder to achieve the same results but there's no way the
dynamo itself gets harder to spin.

 

So does my car. It doesn't measure any change.

Good question. We're still waiting for an answer. GB apparently hasn't
got up to that page in his physics book yet.

Umm, yeah, you rostered off?

On an EFI car, it _causes_ the fuel flow rate ... you can calculate it
from the (fuel rail pressure - the manifold pressure) * (injector open
time - fudge factor).

What? You need to push harder to spin it but it doesn't get harder to
spin?

-----sharks

 

No, you need to push harder to get the result if you add electrical
load. It cannot possibly get harder to spin.

 

I thought it was injection pulses.

the generator does get harder to spin hence the increased mechanical
effort required to pedal , of do you believe the extra energy created is
majic ?

 

Sheesh; if a feller can't take a cheap shot late at night then life ain't
worth living!!

 

Yes I agree; evaporation cause waste too.
Why are pretending that the quantity affects whether that's true or not?

 

Are you actually measuring that or just trusting what the trip-computer is
telling you?
28mpg highway sounds pretty good (although 17mpg city ain't so attractive).

 

What the ****?!!?
Does "More electrical load ..... you need to push harder"
"but there's no way the dynamo itself gets harder to spin"
make any sense in your head?
It certainly makes no sense on the page!

 

I bet if you said this 100 times it would still be just as hilariously
stupid!

What on earth are you actually trying to say?
