That's funny. I'm looking for a POS to daily drive that gets 35 mpg. I've put over 20K miles on my KW race suspension and it's never seen the track... 
I've been doing 90 miles a day in the EVO since I got it. Now I'm going to get a POS, and build a 2.3l for the EVO when it hits 100K miles.
I think I'm done with the tune on my car now, just finished up at lunch. Car is feeling wicked awesome and pulling like a SOB. I'd been running an Al tune for over 3 years, I got that back when he was the only option. I remember when I got ECUflash and looked at his map I was like WTF
. I made some minor adjustments back then to keep things in check but had been procrastinating actually doing a proper tune for almost 2 years now. Since I'm going to be building the motor soon I figured I should get tuning and figure things out before I got over my head with a stroker. Next up is to get some big injectors and scale them and retune on the stock motor. Then when I put in the stroker I don't have to worry about scaling and a baseline on a totally new set-up.

. Back then we didn't know better honestly. Amazing how things changed in just 3 years . I'll check out the box if you come by early on Sat. I won't be able to be there on Sunday at all....
When the Albert came to SLC for a bunch of custom tunes the first time it was a classic experience. He told everyone how their parts were crap if it wasn't Buschur. But his most classic line came at the end of the day, around 11 PM after his last tune. He had a pocket FULL of hundreds from custom tunes and he asked "are there any good hookers up by the airforce base"
So it turns out that the magic 94 octane from Cenex in Auburn has a fair amount of alcohol in it. After I had my tune all dialed in around 11.7-11.5 AFR's on the Cenex 94 I found myself in Redmond on my gas light. So on my way home I stopped at a Chevron and put in some 92. I was interested to see if I would get any knock or such on the 92 so i made a few pulls on the way home and logged the data...
On my first pull the car was much slower than it had been, and I thought that there must be some knockage pulling timing. But I didn't have my CEL flash at me (it's programed to flash if the engine knocks - ftmfw). I made another pull to to be sure and it felt kinda lame also. So when I got home i reviewed the logs and the 92 Chevron had lowered my AFR's in the mid 10's, around a point lower.
I made a post in the ECUflash area and JB confirmed that the Cenex has a lot of alcohol in it. So if your car isn't tuned for that gas beware. I think I'm going to continue to base my tuning on it, because if I gas up other places it just richens up my tune - no big deal.
I still can't believe the seat of the pants difference between the two.
