Well I took a trip to a little place called Garner State Park in West TX, about 290 miles, and was the maiden voyage for my new VMP 87 mileage tune. On the way there i averaged ~70 mph w/ AC on 90% of the time. Before a quick fill up in Hondo, i got 251 mi on about 12.4 gal, which comes out to about 19.8.

on the way back though was a different story. battled the outer bands of Hurricane Dolly, so headwind was blowing about 15-25 mph straight out of the East, which is the way we were headed. averaged about 66-67 mph with AC on the whole drive home. still averaged 18.5 on the tank!

all i have to say is i cant wait to see good driving conditions, so i can see what it can really do now!

thanks for the tunes Justin! im loving them already!

 

With a 91 performance tune, I get just a little bit more when I punch the accelerator, and my highway miles are always in the mid 20's. I wish all of my driving could be on the open road. But alas, I have to live in The City with average speeds of 15 MPH and only get 8-10 MPG.

 

well you have the newer v6. i have an 01. and we dont have 91 here, only 87, 89 and 93. and 93 octane is quite a bit more than other places, because not many people use it here. but im happy cuz gas prices are at $3.64 here!!!

 

How long did you have to wait for your tuner?

 

it took about 7 business days to get to my house. he sent the programmer with the tunes already on it.

 

so you got to see the great town of Utopia and Vanderpool haha. if you went through hondo, did you take 90?

from dallas i go 67 to hico, then take 282 to kerrville then the bandera truck route the rest of the way, i work at a camp up here called Lonehollow.

 

we take I-10 from columbus through SA, and jump off onto 90, through hondo, then turn at sabinal and go through concan. I live SW of Houston.

 

garner rules

 

it used to....the frio is standing almost dead still. the only float worth the time is happy hollow, which still takes 2-3 hrs....

 

thats cool. I-10 and 90 are about a stone's throw away from my house all the way over here in Fla. Dosen't 90 go all the way to cali?

 

texas highway 90 bud...sry...

 

No, hes saying he lives close to hwy 90 which runs from the east coast of Florida to Van Horn, TX (Western side of Texas)

 

well i just checked out google maps, and yes you right 04heritage. it does run from pensicola(i think) all the way to Van Horn. That i did not know. Always thought it was a TX Hwy....thanks for the new info
