economy map?

So I know cobb has an economy map for our cars to improve mpg and such. Just wondering if anyone has a map that isnt using cobb? Like from a tune from a shop?

No, but it would be pretty easy to do.

Yes, I have a 91 octane lower boost tune from AMS. I used it this winter and it was great!

Mostly city driving actually. On the highway, my 94 octane full boost map does better.

What I'm currently testing/logging/tinkering. Gas mileage increased roughy 10-15% when cruising at 65-70 mph (~50 load), which is what it's designed for. Went from 24-25 mpg highway to 28-29 mpg. Still need to run a full tank of gas and look at overall MPG gains.

V11 is a little smoother with less dramatic changes between cells.

Well currently I get around 18-20 in the city and 25-28 on the highway on my custom tune.

Im on 93 but I will be going to minnesota where there is only 92 (boo) So ill probably get a 91 tune and work off that. I will be driving there and back thats why I want to improve mpg as much as possible.

im sure you could easily do this, if you plan on having a laptop handy.. but, i do honestly like the compact nature of the Cobb tuner.. just dont like being held hostage by Cobb..

Paying $54.85 full tank is not funny...
