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.

I wait and wait for a tune to fix this...

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?

Well I need a tune to lean this out but I guess my emails that have been asking for a corrected tune keep going ignored. I am going to email BNracing with an upload of my MPG. I noticed it dropped as soon as I flashed to their tune.

I don't mean to a sour puss..... but I am really pissed off, not only is my car running to rich I have to put up with annoying whine and tinny rattle.
(see: annoying header whine thread)

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

Yea I already have that other than catch can, but like I keep saying. You can smell how rich my car is running.
I don't even have a stock tune file for my car so I am stuck like this until I get a tune file to correct this.

Ugh......... FMC

Vince can you fix this??

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...
