We have a few different power packs. Which pack are you speaking of? You'll definitely see an increase in MPG with a tuner, usually between 1-5 MPG over stock.

Once I gather some more information on what exactly you're looking for, I can better assist you!

It's the one with the air raid cai and bama tuner. Pypes x pipe and axle backs I bought the car with a cai on it but can't find a name on it and I would have to guess it is not tuned.

We see the biggest gains in mpg with the Bama SF3 tuner and CAI package. That being said the biggest issue is trying to keep your lead foot of the gas haha. Most of our customers enjoy the extra power so much they want to feel it all the time. Now driving with a lead foot will not help you gas mileage! So, it depends on your driving style.

Agreed! Ever since I got my cai , my mpg has gone down. Why? I can't keep my foot off the gas lol. Your exactly right, I want to feel the speed all the time. Its worth it though trust me. Makes it feel like a completely new car.

Thought when I drive easy, I do get good gas mileage. So you definitely will see improvement.. that is if you can keep your foot off the gas.

The reason I had asked cause it is my daily driver. I almost wished I did not find this site or American muscle. Cause I have the feeling I will be spending a lot of money because of both. Haha

Yeah mine is my dd as well. But I look it this way( how I justify spending for premium gas). This is a hobby. An just like any hobby(snowboarding, music, biking, etc, it costs money. An lucky for us, we get to enjoy our hobby everyday!! Everyday I get to enjoy going fast an riding in style. Sometimes I think yeah, I could've gotten a 40mpg elantra but as a car guy, I'd be bored. I'd pay my car payment every month an just be ehh about it. When I pay for my mustang, it doesn't bother me. Cause I love it. I Dont think I'll ever be able to go back to a regular sedan.

Hahah that sickness is a good thing for sure! I would say most of our customers are in the same boat as you. They buy something they can enjoy everyday and don't mind any of the negatives because the positives out weight them x10!

Enjoy the CAI/Bama setup if you decide to go that route. By the sounds of things, it seems to be exactly what you're looking for!
