economy map?

So I know cobb has an economy map for our cars to improve mpg and such. Just wondering if anyone has a map that isnt using cobb? Like from a tune from a shop?

No, but it would be pretty easy to do.

Yes, I have a 91 octane lower boost tune from AMS. I used it this winter and it was great!

What was your average mpg before the tune and after the tune? noticeable difference?

Mostly city driving actually. On the highway, my 94 octane full boost map does better.

What I'm currently testing/logging/tinkering. Gas mileage increased roughy 10-15% when cruising at 65-70 mph (~50 load), which is what it's designed for. Went from 24-25 mpg highway to 28-29 mpg. Still need to run a full tank of gas and look at overall MPG gains.

V11 is a little smoother with less dramatic changes between cells.

Well currently I get around 18-20 in the city and 25-28 on the highway on my custom tune.

Im on 93 but I will be going to minnesota where there is only 92 (boo) So ill probably get a 91 tune and work off that. I will be driving there and back thats why I want to improve mpg as much as possible.

im sure you could easily do this, if you plan on having a laptop handy.. but, i do honestly like the compact nature of the Cobb tuner.. just dont like being held hostage by Cobb..

Paying $54.85 full tank is not funny...
