    Did everyone notice a increase in their fuel economy after getting a tune? Also what octane tune did you get?

    I've got the Nelson 91-93. I'm still going to run through one more tank before final MPG calculation. I'm trying hard as possible to drive easier than normal.

    After 3 fill ups so far it's looking like about +3MPG on the hwy and about +1MPG for city lots of stop-n-go.

    That's about what my economy went to. I consistantly get 19.5-20.5 straight freeway going 65-70mph.
