Thumbs up Flashpaq + 91 Tune w/93 octane = more mpg

Thats right, I've been driving (now on 2nd tank) faster and farther since the upgrade.
Anyone else notice the same?

91 tune and I'm using 93 octane. Was surprised to see more mpg since I've been romping on it everyday.

premium here is 92; only drove about 25 miles the night I installed the flashpaq, then it snowed yesterday - - so the "c" is safe and sound in the garage...... I'll see this weekend 'cuz I'm taking it on a 250 mile day trip Saturday (unless it's snowing, then I'll take the beater Accord)

The SC Flashpaq for our Dodge Ram Hemi improved its gas milage. I would believe your claim. I used to average around 14.4 mpg in the truck in my normal driving and now that average is typically around 15.7 mpg if not slightly higher. I can also get around 22mpg on the freeway with it and it used to only get around 18mpg(some of that is due to a combination of the SC and the headers for the freeway comparison).

Yeah - same here. Better mileage.

I'm running Sunoco 94 Octane since I loaded the FlashPak yesterday.
