wasting money : \
after my tune on hondata i been getting horrible gas milage (i wasnt driving it hard) i didnt have an o2 sensor at the time so i capped off the o2 bung until i got one the next day. i heard ppl get great gas milage even with 1000's and driving it pretty hard daily. what could be wrong?? i heard if they left it on open or close loop (dunno which one) it would cause the bad gas milage

Re: wasting money : \ (fafsa)
it depends on the tune if they tuned the part throttle correctly.Alot of people are getting good gas mileage on 1000cc avg about 24-28mpg.
if yougetting worse than that somethign definitely wrong with your part throttle tune. did you only tune for dyno without any load

450's with CROME. I get about 30mpg w/freeway driving, more city I get around 27 mpg. That's in the winter, my mileage actually goes up a bit in the summer.

Oh, btw, I really recommend running closed loop if you're not tuning currently. Throw in a good o2 or run your narrowband emulation if you're using a wideband. It will keep your mileage better and save your cat if you're running one.

...on a recent trip = 29-30 mpg avg for 600 miles or so (including a few spirited pulls to keep me entertained)
