Fuel Economy Tips from HP Tuners!

It's no secret that gas prices are (very) high all over the globe, so achieving better fuel economy is more important than ever. Eddie walks through some practical tips to give your vehicle the best chance at better fuel economy. If you're serious about getting more MPGs, he also lays out some common adjustable parameters that a qualified tuner could make for a dedicated fuel economy tune.

Talks about fuel economy while driving a vehicle with a roll bar, Awesome!

Thanks for sharing. I do think you should’ve opened this video with your tuning suggestions.

To save confusion in terms… it’s “pre ignition” or “detonation”. Not pre detonation.

[lachlanbrown]

All good tips. Wouldn't low rolling resistance tyres also help with economy numbers?

Optimizing to get more timing? What if you had 5% increase in spark? What would that translate into? What systems increase the amount of spark to get from the spark table adjustments.

I would argue that when gas prices get crazy high less people purchase 91 octane. Then I question how long is that 91 sitting in the tanks gathering moisture or degrading? The 87 is getting turned over much more often and maybe getting "fresher" fuel.

In my experience running 87 or 91 my fuel mileage doesn't change enough to come to the conclusion that the fuel was the factor maybe +/- .2 gal per mile. If your getting knock than your octane is too low and needs tuned for the fuel being used. Now if running 87 or 91 with 10% Ethanol added instead yes fuel mileage will decrease. I have actually gotten better fuel mileage using the 87 without ethanol over 91 with 10% ethanol blend.

My fuel economy is horrible because my truck keeps thinking I have 30%+ ethanol in my fuel causing the truck to runn very very rich. 😡 Virtual sensors are a joke. Can't wait for my new HPTuner to show up so I can disable flex fuel and bring the fual ratio back down to correct the air/fuel ratio.

Not true about the octane. Lower octane fuel tends to burn more quickly and easily, that's why it has less resistance to detonation, there fore burning more completely. It's proven. I run 85 when it's available.

The a/c comment is a myth. You lose at most 1 mpg by running your ac
