Default Re: Which Mode was I in

rburt07 — I believe that you were in "heretical" mode. From your data (72 km/h, 1250 rpm) I compute (using the Formulas in post #34 of the thread "Heretical Mode") that MG2 was spinning at 2032 rpm and MG1 was spinning backwards at -783 rpm under electrical power from MG2. That's an indication of heretical mode. From your fuel consumption figure of 0.4 gal/h (~1.5 L/h) we can also compute that your FE should have been ~2.1 L/100 km (~112 mpg). For some reason, though, this doesn't seem to agree with what you say SG said (~60 mpg).
