Subject: RX8 engine fuel consumption.

I just bought some diagnostic software and an interface to the
RX8 diagnostic connector. It auto detects and I think it is the
European CAN network protocol. More on that later.

I am still floundering around on the meaning of this data but I thought
I would let you know I am working on it.

This is data from the car sitting in the garage with the engine running.
It will be a bit hard to load the engine down with aircraft HP levels.
I need to find a long steep hill or run the car at top speed across
the flat desert
some place.

This is just a few seconds of data.

    Rob Golden has done dyno work with the RX-8 engine and he said
that it has a wider margin between too rich and too lean so it can get
more hp with less fuel burn.

Those are the numbers I am looking for.
