Ron- i've installed my K & N CAI and set my Flashpaq to the Performance tune, i've been running 93 octane, but i'm getting some poor mpg. i've run about 4 tanks of gas and only getting about 10.5mpg. at first i was a little "juicy" with the throttle, enjoying my new toy of course, but after the first tank i've not went crazy at all, just to check my mpg. are there some other settings i'm missing to improve this poor mpg? shift point or shift pressure? my tire size is set correctly. any suggestions would be great. thanks!!
-TOM

What kind of mileage does the truck get today?
Are we averaging the tanks to miles used? Or are we relying on the esti-meter on the truck?

What kind of mileage are you getting on the stock tuning as of today?
I would take the tuning out to see if it improves.

Before I installed the Performance tune I was averaging between 14-15 mpg. I've about run out another tank of premium fuel, so i've set my tune back to stock. I'll run a tank or two through it and see if it doesn't improve. Or, should I set it on the 87 Octane tune and see if there's any improvement? Thanks -TOM

Thanks -TOM Tom, Bone stock engine tuning, recal the tires if needed in advanced features. Ron _________________ RRAPP@SUPERCHIPS.COM 1-888-227-2447 8-5 EST.
