I was just wondering for those who have gotten there ECU reflashed. Did you notice a positive or negative change to your gas mileage?

With a reflash comes more horsepower. Those who spend their hard-earned money on horsepower typically go out and drive in ways not conducive to high fuel economy.
However, most people report economy at or slightly above what they are used to for freeway cruising. HTH.

Thought I would post my record, unfortunately I didn't keep track to well when I had the stock ecu but it was like around 21 mpg. I drive 55% highway 45% streets. Highway I am always going 75-80 mph.
