You would need to work it out brim to brim to find out what it's really doing, I wound suspect just a little less than it was getting before you fitted the tuning box.

I totally agree that this should be done more scientifically. I traveled 646 miles on my last tank, with a Distance to Empty of 107 miles, when we filled up. That would give me a "projected" range of 753miles or 33.6 MPG (given the tank is 22.4 Gallons, as advertised). That's with mixed driving with 85% of that being 75 MPH on the highway. My numbers are skewed, since I live in a very hilly environment. Yes, mileage drops some going up hill, but quickly shoots to 70-80 MPG, sometimes 99 on the way down. ECO PRO really takes advantage of that.
I do have a 1,000 mile trip to take next weekend. Going from 5,000'+ to 800' then back from 800' to 5,000'. It should be a really good test. More to come on that.
