Default ECU questions! im getting better economy!

Hi everyone.
Id like to know how to reset the ECU on an AU2 Falcon.

Recently i disconnected the battery to change a parking light and reconnected it. Ever since i have been getting much better fuel economy.
Before i would get less than 600km from a Full tank (Just LPG) now i am getting around 620km per tank. This is highway driving (work an hour away).

It started getting poorer fuel economy, so i disconnected the battery again... and whadda ya know... better fuel economy again!

Is this because the ECU is resetting and only getting used to highway driving, so better economy??

Quite likely. There's only a certain point to where you'll do so good with your standard ECU before you'll need to either edit it or change it to do any better.
