SSC50P code change affects on MPG

After the update I drove one of my regular test loops that is 50% 55 and %0% 65 mph.
I can't compare mpg directly due to the temperature differences, but I do test on days where wind is minimal.

Wayne's simulator said I should have gotton 44 and 49 mpg at the two speeds.
I got an overall 52 mpg.

In my summer loop runs before the update, I generally got a bit lower mpg than the simulator said I could. So I am encouraged, assuming the simulator corrects for mpg accurately.

I am also seeing more battery power mode than I ever saw before in cold weather, but it is delayed more. I used to get some engine off at 130 degrees engine temp. Now it waits for like 156 degrees and then locks off again when engine gets to 146 degrees F.
I expect this will greatly help my slow driving summer mpg where small hills tend to make my engine cycle on and off a lot.

Got can view recently so not much current data from before. But I it seems not all that different once on battery power: around a 20 amp limit when cold and over 30 amps when battery is warm.

My car was a 2005 received in Dec 2004.
