Gas mileage increase????
« on: July 07, 2011, 11:43:26 AM »
When I purchased my Bushtec in Dayton on the way home I was getting 29 mpg on the interstate.  On the way back from New England last week the mileage was up to 39 mpg.  No changes were made with the TTS tuner.  Does the ECM reprogram itself while riding?

It was all down hill. 


Or maybe the gas available in only the southbound lane lacked ethanol.  :oops:

I know what it was!  I had to ride slower so John and Mike could keep up......

Geesh Tommy... it was downhill from New England that's why the gas mileage was better. ::) :P :D :D

That's not it.  It's that Virginia sucks.  So the vacuum was helping pull the bike out of New England!
