...on. doesnt this REDUCE gas mileage? Is there any reason a car company would program a car to do this? With car companies trying to INCREASE gas mileage, it seems to me like this causes the opposite effect.
 
no, if the car is headed downhill and the tach is reading 2000+rpm the fuel injectors dont fire
