BTW - fuel consumption is directly related to driving style....I dont think many see better mileage the first tank of gas after being flashed

Pre: 18mpg / 22 mpg, avg about 20.
Post: 16.5/ 26* (*6th gear at 70mph or so, cruise control), avg about 20....
In town or if I push, the simple fact of more air means more fuel...so lower mileage. But, if I am cruising and trying to get good mileage, it went up. For me, there was no net change. I suppose that for most people the change reflects the bias of their driving habits as much as anything else.
I drive harder now and seek out fun roads with curves, and keep the revs more at 3-4k now than before.....if I babied, mileage net would be up for sure.

Our customers usually report improvements. We have actually spent time to ensure better mileage under normal driving conditions.

New files from FVD installed, read off 0.9 bar on the new file ! Last file gave 1.0 bar and felt more "angry".
Dont know anything about the fuelconsumption yet !

I'm running EPL's and I generally can see up to 25-26mpg cruising at 70-80mph. Otherwise bewteen runs, city, and highway always get 17mpg or more.
