Possible Tune for Mileage Increase?
I noticed that SCT now has a tuner they call the Economizer – specifically developed to provide better fuel mileage. I haven’t heard of anyone running with one of these yet, but with the prices of gas climbing almost daily, it might be worth a shot. Of course, with 10% better mileage (claimed), and the cost of $399 what’s the break even point?

Well my car is 3yrs and 2 months old and I have 23K miles on my car. That is an average of 7,187.5 miles per year. If you assume I can get 20 mpg on average. So at 20 MPG I use 359.375 gallons of gas a year X $4.00/gal = $1,437.50/year. So if this tune truely gave me 10% better mileage that would be 22 MPG X $4.00/gal = 326.70 gals/year. So this tune would save me 32.675 gals of gas per year. So this tune would save me $130.70 per year. It would take me 3.06 years to break even on my investment. NOT IN MY LIFETIME!!!
