Or let off the throttle.. Dummy..
MPG on a turbo diesel is moreover based on the amount of load, or how much boost you need.
Trucks have shitty mpg because they are constantly pulling a shitload of weight around and always need boost.
You wouldn't need a controller

It seemed like those guys could have munched on a hot dog or taco while they waited for 160 to come on by.
