BNR for MPGs

[Gingerbeard Freddy]

I have been considering getting the BNR tuning service for a while 6+ months, only because of financial reasons. I currently drive a lot of highway and have seen as high as 37 MPG in my '15 LTZ auto. I was wondering if anyone else has had better numbers with a BNR tune, Jerry I know you reply to these posts also.

I need a selling point to my wife aka "the bank" to help justify the BNR tune. Any help is appreciated. BTW if this has been addressed in another post, someone link me to it and I will read. I have looked some already, but found nothing.

Thanks again

You'll gain 42 MPG. Show this to your wife.

I believe that everyone agrees that you'll gain a few MPG. However I also remember seeing a post by someone I want to say is named swordsmith. He said if you're gonna mod do it because you love the car. Not because you want to go fast because the car will never be fast, and not to gain MPG. He did some calculations that he included if I remember. Look up "so you decided to mod your car sonicownersforum" on Google. It should help finding the post.

You might gain some MPGs but I lost some since I cant keep my foot out of the throttle, I drive it more like a race car now instead of an economy car like I use to(smiles per gallon over miles per gallon). I thought there was a mileage tune they could do instead of the performance one?

As far as I understand he can tune for whatever you want, though with such a small engine you'd be better off getting the extra horsepower and keeping your foot out of it. I think that's how you're supposed to gain MPG with the tune.

My Rs increased about 4 mpg with the tune, and then i got another 4mpg with the GTX. but remember thats running 93 fuel. g

I am curious if anyone knows what kind of HP gains you would get with, the only upgrades being CAI, and catback exhaust?

I have also thought of doing the ignition upgrade and have also debated whether to do that or injectors upgrade first I know with either one I would need to have it running a tune.
