First gas fill-up with tune

elund126 · July 09, 2014, 07:26:43 PM

Went through my first tank of gas after installing my tune. My normal MPG was anywhere from 20-22MPG (stock).

Today, it was at 17MPG!!! I didn't feel like I drove it too hard, so I was a little shocked at how low it was. Let's see if it gets a little better.

That's where the "pay to play" phrase comes into use hah.

Around town I get around 17 and highway I get 24-26. Now I'm on e30 so it's suffering. Nothing like the 7 mpg I get in the stang lol.

what tune do you have !?

most including myself get better MPG with the tune over stock.

Yeah, I was hoping the MPG would go up. I have a tune that Torrie wrote. I'm not sure if it has a "name" or anything.

You are running 0.028 gap, right? Go up to 0.030 and see what happens. That WILL have a positive effect on mpg, likely without detriment to performance.

If you want an MPG specific calibration all you have to do is ask for it. I do nothing to impact MPG in my calibrations as it stands, that is mostly controlled by your right foot.

My first tank "post Torrie tune" was terrible. But my jaw hurt for 2 days from how much I was smiling. Had nothing to do with the tune itself. It had to do with the fact that after he tuned it, I could NOT keep my foot out of it. The car was so much fun to drive, I had to hammer it every gear, every day.

Best 17 mpg I ever got (other than the 9 mpg I get in my blown Viper).

Don't get me wrong, my right foot seems to be a little heavier now!:D

I wasn't complaining, just posting my mpg because someone asked.

Graph of MPG for the last 3 months. Installed my tune on June 21, 2014. I'm not complaining, I absolutely love my car with the tune. I have tried hard to be a little more modest on the gas pedal the last few fill-ups!!
