I'm not really worried about my mileage. It's not going to drop that much, and the performance pickup is worth it. If I was at highway speed I could feel the AFM turn on and off. On a downhill stretch I'd have to use more throttle to turn it off and get power if I needed it. Now it's just a nice smooth motion and the power is there when you need it.

So far the mileage is about the same, but I've done mostly city and towing.

Question

I assume this tune gets rid of the 97mph restriction/governor?

Is there a way to get rid of it without a full tune?

Also is there a way to reprogram the the fuel stats like how many gallons used and previous fuel economy stats?

He was able to change the speed limiter to max. I don't know about the fuel stats/etc. I asked him a question by emailing through his website and he was quick to respond. I'm sure he would be able to tell you.

Finally taken it on a road trip to test out the gas mileage. I got 17.1 cruising around 75mph the whole way there. On the way back I got 16.2, but I had my foot in it more because I was ready to be home.

Not bad considering. As I said before, the benefits of smoother ride and no delay on the throttle far outweigh the slight decrease in mpg.
