While it could be the tune (you never know what that certain tuner does) - it just doesn't make sense to me that it is since you say your staying out of boost as much as possible which means your afr would be 14.7:1....Now if you were going into boost a lot I could say yeah a rich tune will def. use more fuel.
I would suggest maybe getting a base flash from ttp? its $50.00 and will give you a much better tune than you have now.....
I'm still guessing there could be some underlying maintenance issues that need taken care of.

- The more i think about it if this tuner messed with the timing in the part throttle area it could have an effect on fuel mileage as well, the motor just isn't running efficient at all (like I said its hard to say what this certain tuner actually did). I would suggest doing a boost leak test and a new tune and see what happens.

Oh man I'm pissed. Waited too long to buy those SSR competitions - fewer than three left on TireRack's website
. Oh well, looks like i'm just gonna have to hold off on the wheels and pick up those coilovers and brake parts .

Article regarding the other stuff and good review

Best price I found was 935 shipped if we buy them separate and 900/each if we buy them together.
I wouldn't be able to buy them for a couple days at least so it may not work. $35.00 each isn't a huge difference but I figured a few bucks was a few bucks if you were interested.
Let me know.
