What kind of fuel economy do you get?

[geezerbrzeezer]

I get exactly the same mileage, city or highway, summer and winter. WGAF mileage is only measureable via my constant grin and my continuous efforts in the upper RPM's, and not by some lowly, optimistic manufacturer's computer bs bullshitter.

I average 34mpg with a mix of city/highway, but mostly city driving. I have a '13 manual, tuned with a few other goodies, but no aero.

hmmmm ....... is that because you don't have any hills in Florida ..... or, because you can cruise at 40 mph through your cities using cruise control .... ??

I usually cruise around 45 in the city in 5th, which keeps my rpm around 2500 ish. I don't like the rpm below 2k as the car does not feel right, and reaching 3k is when i usually shift. I use cruise control for long roads only, or if police are nearby.
A tune does help though, as well as some lightened drivetrain pieces. And be easy on the throttle, only use what you need and don't give too much unless you're in the correct gear.

Do you track your car or run corn? When i was on corn, i averaged about 25mpg, but it varied a lot on throttle. I think the lowest instant mpg i saw on corn was 1.2 when full throttle.

[why?]

I drive like an old grandmother. Does a tune really help gas mileage? If it does I'd get an OFT in a heartbeat.

How many miles would it take to recoup several hundred dollars if you're seeing 2 mpg more?

not really about the money. Plus if you keep the car a decade or longer you will eventually recoup the money. But if a tune can get better performance and get better gas mileage it is a win-win and that is wonderful. I always assumed a tune would get worse gas mileage and since my car is a dd I'm totally not interested in that.

my last car, a Yaris, I spent a few grand on things that lightened up the car, made it much more fun to drive, and helped me get much better gas mileage. It is fun to brag about getting 50 mpg in a fun to drive car.

Running corn having too much fun. I bet it's more like 16. Every time I've checked the old fashion way it's been about 2 higher than the car says.
