My 15mph claim was over a 20 minute period with multiple obc calculations - the Dinan S2 upgrade uses a bit more petrol than the OEM setup - It would have been a longer run if I had not had to put it into the stones when some cars were doing a pass on a blind turn(2 lane road) - Fortunately, there was a wide shoulder I could drift onto to prevent the headon - Seems they had tucked themselves behind a truck which had just completed his pass at the blind turn - It was a nasty surprise to see all those cars occupying my lane after the truck moved back into his lane - never touched the brakes(which is why I'm still here), just drifted onto the shoulder and eased it back when the interlopers passed by - I dialed it back to 80 after that
