Question Race Tune = less gas mileage?

A race-tune is a double edge sword. It's running leaner because leaning it makes power but your timing is more advanced. Which increases the volume of fuel needed (or something like that). If you drive "nicely" you should get better gas mileage but if you're aggressive then you'll get way worse.
