~400 km a tank

That is pretty much all city driving

Only recently added K&N drop-in filter, but I don't think it's making any significant change in fuel consumption
Sometimes it makes a cool whoosssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh sound
But yeah about 400km a tank

I will start with the free base tune from GST, and go from there. I absolutely love having a good starting point, but tweaking a map is fun as hell for me. One of the things I didn't like about my old MR was having an ECU TEC tune in the ECU that I could not look at or mess with myself. I had a lot more fun with my EVO VIII with AEM EMS... I messed with it constantly and my final tune bore only a slight resemblance to the tune I got from Dave Buschur.

One of the things I will be doing is setting up an E-85 map. I ran E-85 in my VIII for about 2 years, and other than horrible starting in winter, and not economical (in my area... some places E-85 is cheap... but not here) I had a blast!

Nice. I actually would like to learn how to tune myself. I heard that Ethanol is great for performance but gas milage suffers and there aren't any stations in my area, that i kno of.

One car company actually rates their flex fuel engines as getting more horsepower with ethanol rathern that gas. I think its ford on the f-150
