Gas Milage

Since I went stage 2 on the AP.. my gas milage has gone out the window... I mean I am getting like 200 miles to the tank... Can I run the economy real time map on top of the stage 2?

if all you changed was your AP map since your gas mileage dropping then i venture to say something isnt right. most people i know including myself actually get improved gas mileage despite the power increase. my mileage went from 200-225 to 250-275 since changing to stage 2. I would check your maps again. Perhaps the problem isnt the accessport either.

i would have to say lead foot... i would get at the most 220 a tank if i drove like a grandma... now with front mount staight pipes and a vf34 i can hope for 200, but its hard not to smash on the gas.. its like tha car wants to go fast, aha!!

depending on how heavy I allow my foot to be, I'm able to still get between 220 and 230 by the last 1/4 tank... I never let it go below that most of the year. 10-11 gal fill up most times

that's with my PDX tune w/ 740cc Deatschwerks injectors/Walbro pump...

I'd suggest checking your car, but keep in mind that there is also the thing that if you are "just flashed" that it may take a tank or 2 to see "actual" mile/per/gallon after your car learns your driving...

I get about 230 a tank with stage 2 setup. It's exactly the same as I got stock. It depends on more than just a lead foot, but what type of driving your doing. My driving is 90% in town, which is crap gas mileage. My buddy has a stock 06 wrx and he can pull off 400 miles out of a tank with freeway driving. I wouldn't worry too much unless your doing the same exact type of driving and it dropped that much.

Bone stock and I gets 21-22mpg. Yeah, from what I've heard you get better gas milage with a stage 2.

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
I measure "smiles" per mile and NOT miles per gallon.

C'mon guys/gals...it's a STi. I'm sure most of you didn't buy the STi because it gets great gas mileage.

BTW when I want to go frugal and save gas, I drive my Miata. It gets close to 30 mpg.

..but with gas costing $3+ a gallon for 92 octane, it's hard to think about much else! My 98 4 door Impreza has a WRX swap into it. Going to have to use it as a daily driver, and kinda wishing it had the stock 2.2 in it!
