DreDre Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was curious as to how mpg's change from a complete stock engine to stage 1, 2 and so on. Go ahead and post the stage your engine is at and the mpg'syou get thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Stage 4(?) here. Consistently averaged 27mpg highway this past winter on my old tune. This is using the old fashioned, divide miles driven by gallons used at the pump method. When I was stage 2 (protuned), I regularly saw 30mpg using the trip computer.

TRSCobra Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 nice! It's funny how on most of stage twos posted they get better mpg's than a stock LGT. TRSCobra, how would you get 30mpg's? I just set the cruise control at about 65 and the car regularly returned that mileage. It's a 5mt also, which helps. also what exactly is protuned? A protune is when someone tunes your car for my specific mods. A stage 2 OTS (off the shelf) map from an accessport wouldn't get as good mpg as a protune.

charlie_sheen Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 im pretty sure that the MPG reader on our cars isnt accurate once you go above stage 2 or so. mine says im getting 32mpg...and it can agree with that, if it werent for the fact that im getting 250 miles to the entire tank. i dont get it! and im stage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
