    Driving habits are the biggest gain for eco modders. Miniscule gains can be had with maintenance, airflow, lube mods etc . . . (short of lowering and aerodynamic junk) but without proper driving habits YER SKREWeD DaWgG!

    This.

    If there was a way to raise MPG with programming, they would have done it. Keep your foot out of the gas as much as possible. Don't accelerate towards red lights, don't drive 80MPH on the freeway, etc. That's all you can do.

    there have been a few posts about these possibles:

    1) after 12k miles the engine is more "broken in" and members have reported a slight mpg increase

    2) again some posts about switching to 91+ gas for the better performance and some cases of higher mpg making up for the higher price

    3) depending on your vehicles mileage you might need some simple tune up items (spark plugs, air filter, check tire psi, etc)

    4) finally your style of driving also reflects your mpg, my experience for where i live driving at 50mph avg on country roads gets optimum mpg. too bad i mostly do more city driving :(
