I’m heading up the coast for San Fransisco. I’m taking CA-1 – The Pacific Coast Highway. This road snakes along the edge of the ocean. It is very curvy and scenic.
I re-tuned my Megasquirt (a DIY Programmable Electronic Fuel Injection and Ignition system) a bit, and enabled the overrun fuel cut option which turns the injectors totally off when I am going down a hill. Most modern cars do this – but the Scirocco’s factory mechanical injection was never capable of that. This has resulted in better running, quieter exhaust when coasting and driving down a hill. I’m hoping to see a boost in economy as well.
