Stage I EVO!!
Got my stage one today @ evosport. Nice sound, ave 21.2 MPG on the way home on the freeway. Normally 18. WOW not it pulls like a 13 sec car with 19" rims.
I would say 13.1- 13.3 w/ the 19's 12.8-12.9 with 17" rims. Nice sound with the new air box too.
Headers in 2 months.
THANKS EVOSPORT!

I've been noticing reports of increased gas mileage with the Evosport kit. Pretty cool consider the cost of gas. What is the biggest contributing factor to the improved gas mileage, the chip?

I think the ECU has the answer. When I had my Lexus supercharged (and changed to the smaller pulley) the low and mid range RWHP jumped which allowed me to get up to speed faster and I didn't have to jump on the gas to get it there.
The real gain in the MPG is the freeway driving I find? So the ECU maping would have the answer. Remember LEANER IS MEANER so maybe they leaned the fuel out a bit to get the HP UP, and yet not ping. I believe this would be the answer.
