Let this thread starter decide for himself,and If he wants a tune to get better gas mileage then so be it but don't say that he should get an RSX- Type S or a hybrid car if his interests are really for the EVO.

Why would you put this in your post to Mathgeek? If you were not trying to insinuate something ("Well keep on reading and fine more info on ur tuner bcz dynoflash has given customer good tunes and has made a customers car not run.")
You could have just said Well keep on reading and find more information out on your tuner before you make a decision. THATS IT that is all you had to say. It already says in the bottom of everything you post to stay away from Dynoflash unless you want to get screwed.

Moogle,
He just wanted a simple answer to basically know if a Dynoflash or any other flash would get him better gas mileage or not thats it. As far as you putting the RSX & hybrid thing in there.. My question to you would be why would he be asking on EVOlutionM about an ACURA or Hybrid car when his interest is in an EVO..
Just some food for thought.

Sheesh. I had no intention of starting WWIII. Thank you all for your input. I will do some independent reading on the issue. It's the Evo that I'm interested in, nothing else. If I cared only about fuel economy, I wouldn't have traded in my 2001 Honda Civic (37 mpg) for my 03 Eclipse GTS. Power is wonderful. I just want to make it as efficient as possible, that's all.

Let me sum up this whole thread real quick. Bottom line, dynoflash will not increase your gas mileage, nor will it decrease your gas mileage. Your stock ecu will get the af stoich everytime it's in closed loop.

Regarding the Camaro mileage, your wrong. I got 30MPG on the highway and over 20 in the city with my 01 Z28 a few cars ago. That thing ran 12.6 also with just a muffler and air filter. The six speed in that car was a lot more useful than, say, the one in the MR. I used to turn like 1600 RPMs at 70 MPH!!!

Past experience I had in dynoflash it did improve like 5 miles more to the tank, but I wouldn't get a tune just for 5 more miles to the tank.

I dont see how anyone here is getting over 300mpg. I got my car with one mile on it and a full tank of gas from the dealership. I babied it while I was breaking it in and I think I got around 270. Since then I've filled up around 3 or 4 times and have only gotten around 250-280 max. I drive 44 miles each way to work, granted I don't drive the car everyday (carpool) but I have never seen close to 300 at all and thats normal highway driving here.

I was behind a jeep the entire way to Ft. Leonardwood, MO from Dallas, TX the time I got 320 miles out of a full tank of gas. That would probably explain why I was able to do so, however on the flip side of that I have since then run completely out of gas once during a freakish rain storm. I only got 313 miles out of that tank with most of my driving done on the highway and some in or around the city (Dallas). Even with all of my mods such as 272 cams, turbo-back exhaust with cat-delete, intake, headers, bigger fmic, bov, profecB, walbro 255 fuel pump, turbotrix flash, and boost set at 22psi I still average around 250 to mostly 280ish depending on how hard I drive. Also, that's with me making 334whp/322tq.
