Looks like a little bug that I over looked when reworking the fuel economy. When I get to programming again tonight, I'll fix it.

Glad you enjoy it.
Fixed this bug, and its' effect on weight.

Yea, I've fixed that as well already. Problem was a little bad math on my part. It'll be added to the Tuesday night patch.

Has this been patched to the Steam version yet? I'm still seeing some weird behaviour when all other slides are very low. (If it went out on Tuesday that is.)

It went out this morning, about 4 hours before your post.
What other issues are you having?

It's very similar to what you see in the pictures. When I try to make a ridiculously cheap car and most, or all, of the sliders are at 0, then adjusting fuel testing will increase weight and hence worsen the fuel rating. I managed to recreate it with different chassis/engine/gearbox/bodytypes. As long as most/all sliders where at 0, fuel testing would increase weight and reduce fuel rating.
I'm aware this might well be a scenario that isn't the most likely to happen in general and might not be the highest priority to fix (since the slider seems to work fine when you have balanced your other sliders like a normal person would), but I wanted to notify you anyway, so that you at least know that the behaviour is unexpected in certain bordercases.

I'm sorry to open up an old thread, but I still find that this bug exists in the current Steam-build.
What do I do, and why do I do it?
I have some models that cover up different types of car I wish to build. To try to grab even more of the market I try to build a dirt cheap car where everything is cheap as garbage, so that I can sell in places and for demographics not covered by my other cars. The only thing this car is good at, is fuel economy. So all sliders are down to 0, except the fuel related ones.
What do I find?
I find that increasing the Fuel Economy Testing slider will increase Project Design Cost (as one expects, and it should), but it also increases the weight and decreases the fuel mileage.
I tested this with 2 different cars in 1900. One made with extremely poor and cheap parts (all sliders to 0 in all components) and another car made with average quality components costing a lot more. Both cars got the same effect in the car design phase, when all slider were set to 0, and then the Fuel Economy Testing slider was adjusted.
