skyhighcaraudio Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 namosh:yes lol i have a bully dog tuner that tracks and remembers mpg over a period of time. it went from 13 to 10 around town.i can pull the dc van and a heavy trailer with a street bike in my bed totaling over 12000 pounds and only lost 5 (edit wrong key) mpg. so looking 3 is pretty significant for me.

falcons03079313 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Posted November 5, 2012 I'm glad I drive a 4 banger lol. I like the responses on this site much better than ca.com. More traffic too which is cool
SojiaRaggs9000 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 My Taurus in my sig had nearly 400lbs in the trunk... reduced intow mpg into the low 9s to high 8s mpg. Hwy was somewhere around 12-14ish mpg. Before I got the system in it I used to drive it back and forth from kermit to lubbock 3 days a week. Which was a 3 hour trip 1 way (175ish miles) and I was getting 21-24ish mpg hwy. So yeah Id have to say it does. Although..... now that Im thinging about it I did replace the rear coils with cargo coils and the mpg in town went up to 12-14mpg. Maybe check to see if you coils and struts are worn out. * Eclipse CD3200 with PAC SWI-CAN2 and SW-ECL2 Steering Wheel Controls Interface* Pioneer D-Series Mids and Highs ( Fronts: TS-D1702C; Rears; TS-D1702R and Dash; TS-D1002R )* Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 ( Mids and Highs Amp )* DC 3.5k with Dual Inputs; Custom Plexiglass Backing ( Sub Amp )* Rockford Fosgate Balanced Line Driver * One FULLY LOADED ~ 10" DC m2 XL* Custom Built Carpeted Ported Box Tuned to 32hz.
