For example, if the on-board ECU used injector pulse length to calculate fuel use, but you had larger injectors, then when cruising the injector pulse would be shorter because the injector is larger, but you are probably using the same or more gas. I just have a very hard time believing that a TT sports car is rivaling hybrid gas mileage on the freeway.

You are 100 % correct the bigger injectors trick the stock ECU.
