my instant and avg works (just not accurate). i actually remember asking my gas installer what would happen and they said they'd do it like i said above so it would still show the readings. so it looks like my car doesn't cut the injector pulses altogether. btw i don't run a gas tune, it's still just the normal tune. i don't really know what happens when i hit that gas switch. my dads magna shows nothing when you're on gas.

i keep on editing this post :p
so basically what i'm saying is that when i'm on petrol, the readings are pretty accurate. when i'm on gas, it shows how much petrol i would have used if i stayed on petrol. but in reality you use more gas than petrol.

Failed at test tonight - fixed the heater instead and now the VZ is parked behind it.

I gave up and sat down to a coffee - plan to do the test tomorrow now.
