really i will leave this statement alone enjoy

NO one has to "get into it", if your v8 is consuming more fuel it is likely due to the mods you did before the tune. If those mods caused the motor to run in a lean, then when properly adjusted could cause a drop in gas mileage but would be wrong to blame that on the tune. As I said before it is generally driving habits that decrease the gas mileage after a tune, especially in an auto were shift points are altered.

Well it's a V8 you didn't buy it for gas mileage anyway. Generally speaking a tune will not ruin your gas mileage and since we are in the V6 section we talk about sixers if you wanna talk about the effect of tunes on a V8 there is a section made for that. K
