WTF AVG MPG?
 
Prior to chipping APR and changingALL coil packs, My MPG avg = 12-14 city according to mydigital meter.

Now, it'sMPG avg = 17 city???

Would that be the CHIP or COILs or something else?

Mahalo!

im sure you knew of the down side to chipping so what did you expect ( more power = more fuel = more air = more spark ) all go hand in hand;)

wait you said prior to chipping you only got 12-14, now you have 17mpg. Well your getting better mpg, whats the problem? I guess changing the coils improved the efficiency.

Off topic but where in HI you from?

chips do give better MPG's but you still shouldnt be getting that low of a mileage unless you are mashing the floor pedal everytime you can. check your air filter, plugs, wires, oil and filter, and fuel filter.

actually a chip will give you better mileage. you have more power now so it takes you less time and stress on the motor to get up to speed than it did before you got the chip...


and really you shouldn't pay attention to your average mpg on the DIS screen.. just calculate it when you fill up at the gas station.. fill up a full tank at a specific pump. then run through it till the gas light comes on. go back to the same pump at the same station and fill up again. then divide how many gallons of gas you put in to the amount of miles you drove. that will give you the exact mpg
