Hollycow,
If DFCO activates after 10s, I would've seen it by now if it is either visible with the SG, or can be felt by the driver... Maybe rigging the DIY fuel rate monitor with the SG could help detect if the SG is lying...
Dosco,
I didn't mean P&G is not usefull on highway. I don't really know.
However, for my Gen'2 AT CR-V application I feel there's a lot of roll resistance and I suspect a lot of power lost thorugh aero at 75MPH: The drag coef. must be higher (like 0.30 maybe?) and the surface bigger too. I can't pump the tires much because of tire specs and SUV roll safety. All I know is P&G for an AT CRV on highway doesn't seem that feasible. Slows down too fast.
16HP on air friction sounds quite low. But then again power dissipation must be squared with speed or something, which would explain why a 120HP car can't go much past than 120MPH.
