full throttle != full throttle

Just wondering if this is normal. I have an obd2 scanner hooked up and was monitoring throttle position for the heck of it and noticed that at full throttle, I was maxing out at 91.8%. Occasionally, it would hit 92.2%.

Strange?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the sport button being activated or not...

What is it actually measuring?

Fuel delivery?
Pedal displacement?

Good question and you made me look it up:

http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Throttle_Position

"This is the reading from the potentiometer at the manifold - it is not a reading from the accelerator pedal" - Torque wiki

It goes on to say that not reaching 100% may be normal. Anybody else have readings of their mini to share?
