I drive 87 miles each way to work each day and I can do it twice before stopping for gas unless there is a traffic jam. This commute is a 50/50 mix between highway and DC city traffic.

By 30K it was a little better. By 60K even better. At 70K I switched to AMSoil 100% synthetic and I got a 10% jump in milage.

i think the 27.3 might have been a bit inaccurate, considering I did so many boost pulls. I got around 26.3 mpg on the next tank and then a good 25mpg with a mix of beating on it the tank after. If I maintain 75mph or so without going into boost I should be able to get 26-27 mpg easily.
Interesting thing is that this isn't that far off from the EPA estimate for highway mileage but I was very far from this mark until I got cams.

Re-Flash and Fuel Economy
With gas prices so high I would like to know how much a re-flash effects your gas mileage? It would make sense to me that a re-flash that includes boost increase will hurt mileage but what about the Works P1 or Dynoflash Maps that do not mess with the boost? I have a 05 and they already run leaner that a stock 03/04 map?

Most tuning based on the evo, is leaning it out. Less gas...means more gas for you. Theres alot more to it than just upping the boost...but overall gas mileage should be better IMO

In Theory it should be better, I am just trying to see if persons that have a re-flash are getting better mileage or hating life at the pump.
