The tuner is not a piece of ****, how did you come to that conclusion? The problem is obviously not the tuner but the tune. The face that you use 5-6 miles for 2 miles of travel points to an incorrect gear ratio in the tune. Either change it yourself to 4.10 via the SCT user menu or have a new tune e-mailed to you (Brenspeed, Bama, VMP).

 

I agree cept for the speedo would be off too and he should notice this.

any different shop will cost a hell of alot more than $50. Why cant you spend that much for a tune from the top 3 email tune companies around??

 

The problem might not be with your tune. How accurate is your speedo? If it's not right the computer won't be able to calculate the gas milage correctly.

 

the computer/speedo might be wrong but i still feel like im filling up too much. anyone have a link or phone number to brenspeed? also, how easy is it to load a tune once i get it? thanks guys

 

Loading the tune is simple as putting an MP3 on your IPod pretty much. Very easy.

Your mileage, if you're calculating by hand is too low. 12-13mpg is nuts unless you're just flooring it from every light and braking like you're running on the Nurburgring.

However, the last part you mentioned about the display showing 50 miles to empty, then driving to the store which is 2 miles away then losing 4-6 miles is normal.

 

It still sounds absurd the amount you are filling up everyweek. it does not seem like you drive that far and like Qusus said, unless our flooring it off every light, it should not be that low at all.

 

I really dont get on it that much, I appreciate all the feedback, i'll call brenspeed and see what they think, assuming they wont lie to me and sell me crap i dont need.

 

Those 4.10's are sure not helping. Not at all!

My neighbor has a GT (I have a 6er and a former GT owner) and we were just comparing mileage amounts. tonight I am getting right at 400 miles per tank (around 26.5 mpg) and have locked in there pretty consistently now.

He and I have similar commutes and he is a solid 16 mpg. He said he gets less than 250 per tank...so you are not far off those numbers.

I do drive very easy on the gas...and I hear him come home...so maybe not so easy on his part! All that being said, with those gears...if you are not trying to conserve gas, you are not going to see much better.

 

I get 23-25 hw with my bama tune....stock was about the same
