Default pcmforless helped my gas mileage

It's true! I used to get 17 MPG city. 19 if I drove like a grandma, 18 if I drove like my Mom, and 17 when I drove like me. Now with my tune, I've been getting 19 pretty consistently driving pretty slow except for some WOT getting on the freeway every day for work (not literally every day... like 3 times a week) This tank I've been taking it pretty easy and trying to use the high gears as much as possible and I'm sure I'm touching 20 which will be a first.

It's paying for itself!!! Yay! The power increase was barely noticeable, but still noticeable, which is what I expected. It might just be me... but I feel like the car sounds a little bit different too.... probably just me haha. The car also runs much cooler (also have a 160 stat) But definitely not too cool (like me) because it stays I would say between 180 and 200 (in Tucson, AZ... dang)

All in all I am satisfied. The only thing is... they took FOREVER to send me back my core refund in the mail (check). I didn't need it right away but hey... it's my money and I want it soon! It took 3 weeks AFTER my PCM arrived at their Ohio location. But like I said, I'm satisfied...
