13-14 MPG average conservative driving.
![]() Is this normal for a V6 Camaro with the mods and if not WTF. Best I can do driving all day "very" conservatively mostly highway. Vince send me a proper tune for my car. |

These are mostly Highway. This is NOT acceptable.

its an automatic and I wasn't paying attention to the RPM, but I wasn't hammering down at all.
My car is running rich that's all I can ****ing smell. I wait and wait for a tune to fix this... |

Geez, my car stock I got 17mpg in the city, and after all my mods I now get 20.7mpg in the city, and that is by no means driving conservative... I get on the gas!

No mods and I'm getting 27-28MPG about 72MPH cruising on the highway.
Dumb question, this is even after you hit reset on your average MPG, right?

Something's up, a catch can will help prevent oils from clogging your engine up which means less mpg, nitrogen also helps in your tires

No I am not running ghost Cam, and I am still getting shitty numbers. I stopped using my AC as well and the best I could get after resetting and driving conservatively is 13-14 MPG. That's the very best for today's driving for a few hours...
Like I said my car is running way to rich and it smells when it is idling for a couple mins. This happened more so after I got the tune. I don't even have a stock file tune for my car so it is stuck in gas guzzler mode.... If I wanted V8 MPG I would have just bought an SS.. I am so frustrated with the amount of issues I am having with this car. From whining tinny header vibration to shitty fuel economy. ![]() I did specify I had a V6 when I emailed BNracing where I ordered my tune file and cable from..... I really hope they can lean the fuel mixture just a little...... just so I can at least get stock MPG or close to it... |
