    Took the tablet on a ride along to show more info about regular drives with Valley Runner. I'll comment about the graphs as we go.

    Left the house at 12:45 tonight to hit an ATM for tomorrow and check on the rental property. I drove the long way to get some good logs for y'all. Hell I even sat in a LONG drive thru line because I got hungry on the way. Take note of the trip start, end, average speed, and total fuel economy... That is a long time to go 21 miles total...
    Drive Info.jpg

    The first graph shows 20min of the drive, cold start leaving the house until I got to the atm at the bank. Speeds vary between 15 in the neighborhood, 45, 25 in town, 35, then 25 again...
    Cold Start to Bank (20min).jpg

    Note that Valley Runner instant fuel economy rarely dips below 20 during light highway with hills. If my engine load graph didn't make it impossible to see, you can tell where the hills are.

    Next is the 20min from the bank to the ungodly long drive thru I waited in. I took the shot back out of town in the hills and low speeds, got on the interstate, then off and through the city.
    Bank to Drive Thru (20min).jpg

    Again, VR stays extremely consistent around 20mpg in the hills... Lowest points are during harder accel to get on the interstate, even then only dropping to 5mpg (good for flooring it).

    The drive home was uneventful, highway to the house over 20mpg. Total trip summary with averaging 16mph for nearly 1hr and 20min of driving/idle time: 18.87mpg and only 1.12 gallons of gas used.

    I'll upload another log whenever I can do a 100% highway run (or close to 100%)

    @shotgunbilly420 I got you with some professional-grade logs don't worry :thumbsup:

    I have OBDWiz professional upgrade from my RAM tuning days. Add on the Toyota Lexus Scion pack, I can monitor over 1000 Engine and Trans PIDs for those vehicles. I can have the truck perform a “dyno” on itself with calculated loads, I just doubt it’s validity for real HP and TQ values at the wheel

    The charting on fusion is better in my opinion. But it’s easier to monitor a live chart with obdwiz.

    60 mph? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta show some 80 mph with some hills for sustained 15-20 min. Let’s see if this tune can work, not just putter around country roads.

    No, I only drive there if I go to the coast.
    That road is relatively flat and low speed limit. You need to get up to 70-80 mph over the Cascades to test it thoroughly.
    BTW, PapaRee's variants are pretty close to the number you posted on some of your trips.
    My usual "testing" route is in i-90 east corridor +hwy 18 over Tiger Mountain at speeds 60-80, RPMS in 2000-3000 range and I was getting 18.5-19.5 trip average.
    Also , I'd like to see the tune relevant information beside mpgs.
