After I installed the Urd kit, I've noticed my gas milage has went all to crap. Is this normal? I didn't think that it really changed much?

A buddy of mine said it looked like I was getting to much fuel also, but I figured the ucon would take care of it ?

Dude you just got an SC, and have been posting on how fun it is..... When your into the pedal of course your going to get crap mileage...... Drive sensibly and it will improve your mileage but if you just want to hear that BOV all the time then ya be prepared to make friends with the gas station attendant......

Also if your worried about your afr's then get a gauge.... It should be done anyway....

if you don't use boost your mileage won't change but that defeats the purpose :laugh:

I'm getting a steady 12.5 mph. Truck runs good though. Really responds to the pedal. I was a little shocked at 1st. I would rather drive it less, than drive it slow. I wanted to go faster, I forgot that it was more gass that makes go. Hammer down driver.

Since your whole system is new, does the UCON need some time to learn? :dontknow:

I've averaged around 23 or so mostly on the highway. Normally with a mix of city and highway I get around 18

I've been sliding around corners a lot. I come off the lights pretty hard. I'm shifting regularly around 3k or 4k, if not to the limiter. I guess I just drive like an idiot.

I wonder how some of y'all come by your mileage. I'm filling mine up then running out the miles, then when I fill it up again, I divide the miles I just ran, by the amount of gas I just put in. Average 212 miles on 17 gallons. Toyota says the thing gets 15-19. I have never had a car get what the dealer said it would. I'm not believing some of y'all. 18 mpg really? I can get mine down into the 11 mpg's if I try hard. I just question how y'all arrive at those numbers is all I'm saying.

Yeah 18 mpg lol that's completely within range of what it should be. If you're getting 11 mpg or only 212 miles on a tank there's either a problem or you're driving like an asshat all day every day lol. And yes, I figure up my mileage the correct way.

I pull into the gas station when my light comes on. I put in 20 bucks even. Gas is about 3.85 here. Which equals out to 5.19 gallons. I then drive until the light comes on again, which is almost always right around 105 miles. Divide 105 miles by 5.19 gallons, and you get 20.23 miles per gallon. This is mostly highway, some city. All highway trips I've seen around 23mpg. Your full tank is only taking you 100 miles farther than my 20 bucks, so I'd say there might be a problem. Or the problem is the driving. Lol

I don't think that this is as accurate as filling the tank. Your assuming that the light comes on at the exact same level every time. It could be give or take a gallon or 2 when that light comes on.

I get 14mpg and im N/A

This I understand. That's more like it!
