ecu flash DOES NOT improve gas mileage

[autoverruckt]

For some reason, after flashing my ecu my right foot keeps pressing down on the gas for no purposeful reason. I get less miles on a tank too. Also barely pressing on the gas gets the car moving to speed alot quicker.

I will contact the chip tuner later and complain.

[Tgr_Clw]

I agree. Dem chips should be taken off the market.

ive gotten 3 speeding tickets after the flash.....i blame the right foot too he never listens just like my mini me.........

I'm experiencing the same problem. With a better mix and better breathing with the new exhaust, I thought it would go up. Time to write a letter to the complaint department.

[DoThisMyWay]

I agree, exhaust doesn't help either.

DV and intake also advertised better gas mileage... yeah right..

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

It only helps on long cruises

Hence why i got the V1 after i got the 93 chip..Also my girl said she noticed after i got the chip she was holding the "oh shit" handles more often

You guys need to stop all of this talk about reflashes... The more talk there is, the closer I get to getting one.

[Vito Roma]

get it, you won't regret it!!

[orskier]

It's a whole different car with one. You're doing a dis-service to your car by not getting one!

I've been struggling to get 20 mpg with my GIAC X chip. I switched it back to stock for a tank just to see what kind of mileage I get.

Car sure is slow now...

I hate this thread and I hate all of you. I'm never coming back here again.

your body eventually adjusts and gas mileage goes up. However, you should try your best not to part with the car for more then 3 days, otherwise it takes some more re-adjusting, and your mileage suffers again.

I sincerely apologize to all our clients who are having difficulty with lead feet. I think this warrants a new version of our ecu upgrade that comes with lighter shoes.

I only drive my car a couple days a week because I have a work car so it is always play time when I do. Guess its just nice to know I could have good MPG if I really wanted.

Or a "Right Foot Throttle Limiter", sold separately. Tell your design engineers at APR to invent one. It should look like a string with hooks on each end. One end hooks to your right shoe, the other end hooks to your scrotum (or nipples for females).

In the mean time, I found out that ear plugs and 10cc of anesthesia into your spine and neck actually help out with gas mileage even after an intake/exhaust mod and ECU upgrade.

It's all your fault!

haha! everyone needs to start demanding a free light-weight pair of shoes with each flash! speaking of driving shoes i just bought a pair of the adidas porsche's...they're f*cking awesome! (and yes, i definitely bought them mainly because they say "porsche" on the side. instead of a flame suit i'm just going to put my new shoes on)

X2 on the speeding ticket.

Now I have to figure out what I am going to say to the judge. I know, I'll hold APR liable and subpeona them to help my case.

But officer, the m**er demands that I step on it, surely you understand???

Dude, it really changes the car - no imagining, the change is def there. The change is more dramatic than my previous 1.8T. I went chipless for a year so now I feel like I got a whole different car. If you have a shop nearby, DO IT.
