math to calculate mpg from injector pulse width
i'm making some assumptions with this math. can anyone here confirm if what i'm coming up with is accurate or if my assumptions are correct?
this is specific to honda/acura OBD1 ecus
for this example:
rpm=3250
mph=59
pulse width as taken from ECU map based on load=.127ms=.000127sec
injectors= 240cc
1cc=.000264gal
my major assumption is that injectors pulse once per revolution. is that correct?
so, here we go:
cc/pulse=.03048
gal/pulse=.00000805196
gal/min=.026168
gal/mile=.0257327
mile/gal=38.86
based on the reverse math from known mpg based on my weekly fill-ups, the gal/mile calc above is spot on.
i'd like to use the above logic to request a change to FreeLog (popular honda tuning datalogging software). if the math is right and accurate, a free OBD1 honda realtime MPG display could be developed within freelog.
