[QUOTE="Squatting Dog, post: 237762, member: 1688"] Since this question has popped up several times. I decided to get an answer for everyone regarding the MPG difference between the performance tune and economy tune. How I tested and tried to eliminate human factors as much as possible.. I took my son to a two week summer camp which is 474.7 miles round trip. I took the same route both trips, using cruise control set to the posted speed limit. I left at the same time in the morning to rule of differences in traffic and the tempature was within 5 degree on both days. The trip with performance tune (no picture) 474.7 miles 12.5 mpg 37.9 gallons used (ran out of gas in the driveway, used 5 gallon jerry can to get to gas station) A week before picking my son up I switched to economy tune, to allow time for it to settle in before test. the trip with economy tune 474.7 miles 14.8 mpg 31.9 gallons used [ATTACH=full]195309[/ATTACH] Miles to empty 89 miles So the difference between performance and economy tune is 15% improvement in range (474.7/563.7=85, 100-85=15%) 16% improvement in mpg (12.5/14.8=84, 100-84=16%) [/QUOTE]
