AP owners mpg gain?

mofoSTI · 05-05-2008, 12:39 PM

How much did you mpg improve over stock? Im sure most of you are running in sport or sport #, but I am wondering how much it has improved in I mode.

I drive in "I" about 40 miles on the highway and I am seeing roughly a 1 mpg increase at 70mph.

mofoSTI · 05-05-2008, 01:02 PM

I was hoping for more than 1 mpg in I mode. I have put on over 6k in three months and most of my miles are on the highway at 70-75mph. 1 mpg is better than nothing though.

Last week I was driving home late and was feeling lazy so I went the speed limit (~50-55) and I got almost 30mpg...at first I thought it was off, but it stayed at like 29.4-29.7 for most of the drive home...it even hit 30.0 mpg for a couple minutes. This was incredible considering I normally get about 20 (traffic)-22 (no traffic)mpg on the highway.

Yes it was in I mode, but I was going 50-55mph there is no way I could drive that way all the time.

I forgot all about the economy map. I might try this tomorrow.

Its all down hill once I get the AP. Anybody running the perrin inlet tube with the stock DP?

fourseasonsandles · 05-05-2008, 02:39 PM

I went up 1mpg per map. 1 mpg for Stage 1 over stock and 2 mpg for Stage 2 over stock. I gained another mpg when I ditched my wing. I am looking to gain another 1-2 after my protune.

1 MPG gain, over 1000 miles on S#, stage 1.

I am consistently getting 21 MPG driving with A/C, 70% semi-congested highways and aggressive acceleration when possible.

Your in the wrong thread...bro!

I still have not checked out those features on the AP. I will check them out and report back.

If you reflashed stg 1 and you do the realtime flash for economy mode it resets back to stg 1 after right?

For each 5mph above 65 fuel consumption increases drastically. It's not a linear realationship. I'm not advocating driving the thing like a grandma, but don't expect miracles from the AP. If you really want to conserve on your commute then change your driving habits. Buy the AP for big torque increase

. Keep it 10mph slower and stay out of boost if you want better fuel economy.
