Ecutek good for gas

okay so i was just wondering if anyone else has been seeing a 5mpg gain like i have with the ecutek tune? for both city and highway. Man this car must have been driving that rich. Looks like ecutek could pay itself off.

Really? I guess I never drive my Evo economically to see what MPG is. On the track, it uses half of the per 25 minute session. I have to go fill up almost every session.

I found the small tank a bit irritating for this same reason.

Depends on if your ECUtek tuner messed with the partial throttle maps very much. Mine did only slightly.

I got a lot better MPG from running my intake filter than i did with my ecutek tune.

After my tune, I'm getting about 27 MPG on highway trips.
