But the diagnostics indicate that it's not using more fuel... or if it
is, it's less than 1 decilitre per hour per 800 rpm, which is probably
as close to negligible as it is possible to measure because even driving
over a small bump on the road makes a much more significant change to
the consumption rate.

Wow; I wish I had "diagnostics" so I could defy logic too......

Bicycle is a good example , it becomes harder to peddle when more lights
are added , more energy is required ( fuel) and there is the answer

hey don't blame me.. I just press this button here.. and that button
there.. turn that thing there... and it all comes up on the dash...
After reading your previous post I remembered my car had digital tacho
and instantaneous fuel consumption available and I went out to the car
expecting to be convinced you were right..
