Bolt ons and gas mileage?
Just curious.
Should my milage have gotten better with bolt ons? I have CAI intake BBK long tube headers with hi flow cats MRT 2 Trifecta tune. And I am driving VERY VERY lightly not full throttle AT ALL... under 2k rpms no matter what (SO SLOW) City driving. But like I said... very very flow start (people on bikes get ahead of me quicker) And city driving is 50 km (or 30 miles an hour) I never drive in traffic hour aswell... mostly stopping at red lights. And I am getting 18 miles to the gallon... Is this normal with boltons or is something wrong? |

Idk man. I've had an injen CAi, tune and axle back and was getting great MPGs. I installed bbk long tubes and now MPGs went down the drain. I sent Vince a datalog but he hasn't gotten back to me. Idk what the deal is. Hopefully it's something in the tune. I've checked everything. No CEL

I remember I sent him a log (this was at the start of the tune craze when everything first came out ) and waited a couple months thinking he was just overloaded...nope he just missed my email

My gas mileage was bad (to me) around 20-21 but once I felt my car re learned everything, I get about 23-24 in the city now. Best I've gotten on the highway was about 30.5 with full bolt ons

 I have done 25 mile tests numerous times on the way to work in the morning. Always setting the cruise at 70 MPH. I have seen 30 - 33 + MPG every time.
