Upgrade, Possible solution... GIVE IT A TRY

[Rosskk80]

I've noticed when I drive with my with temperature on (25.5) my cars battery threshold has increased(back to pre-upgrade days) when I accelerate it stays in battery mode longer and I have achieved 5.2L/100km average, which is better than the 5.7L/100km average after the upgrade, so whoever is not happy with the upgrade I say reset your trip B and drive with the temperature on... IMO it drives like it did before( which is a good thing for me) let me know what you think...

I don't speak Canadian. Could you please translate that into American? ;)

[Rosskk80]

Got 5.0L/100km avg on drive home with the temperature on :)

[B25Nut]

Steve, and many others, want you to translate to MPG and degrees F.

[Rosskk80]

5.0L/100km = 47mpg

The lower the Litres used the higher the mpg

I was averaging 4.6 to 4.9 Litres per 100km

Thats Greater than 50mpg

So im guessing 25.5 C is 79 Fahrenheit

 

On another note I had my seat warmer on as well.

^oF=.9 x (2 x ^oC) + 32

 

To do it in your head you double the degrees C (25.5 x 2 = 51) subtract 10% (51 - 5.1 = 45.9) and add 32 (45.9 + 32 = 77.9)

 

So he has his temp set to 78^oF

I live in Vancouver British Columbia, so weather should be identical to anyone who lives in Seattle or Tacoma or neighboring cities. I'm curious if someone that was disappointed the the upgrade achieves similar results to mine... Plz give it a shot and post in here...

I can definitely see your love for math in this post HB.

It gave me another headache! :)

Speak in binary please, then maybe I will understand it.

I don't wanna spoil it for others but that's pretty cool! Glad you are happy! ;-)

Us Computer geeks will get it, thats for sure.

Have you had the PCM upgrade done yet? If so, is this result better or worse than before?

 

I'm still on the fence because I still fail to see why we'd want EV enabled up to 85 mph. I've always gotten mileage in the 40s, typically 41-45 mpg, but I've almost never seen >47 on trips >5 miles. Then, yesterday, with temps in the low 70s, I got 55 mpg on a 12-mile drive through the suburbs here on mostly-level roads. I actually had the PCM upgrade scheduled for this morning, but after that I canceled it because I'm fearful of quibbling with success.

 

Does anyone want to hazard a guess on the consensus after the PCM upgrade -- i.e., improvement or worsening of economy and/or performance?

Well worth it! Don't hesitate to get it done, it will help with the hot weather too as it reduces AC use.
