No, you get to go 100 km rather than 60 miles after the light shows. 40% better, right?

Ya but then you have to take off the exchange rate which is about 18% right now so it isn't that good.
We of course also get more HP from the same fuel because cold air compresses easier and at minus 40 the NA is at the same compression as FI!

I usually put in gas about 2 miles after the light goes off. After the pump finishes, the display usually says it filled my tank between 10.8-11 gallons.
