Normal mileage throughout the week about 40 miles a day in hard traffic, I fill up Friday and I’m back at the gas pump Tuesday. Now I fill Friday and get to Wednesday night or Thursday morning before I fill again. I can probably get something
More accurate, but I dont actually care at all about saving gas, if I did I would of bought something smaller, or I would drive in eco , neither of which I’ll ever do lol therefore I never actually check the numbers. I will though now I’m interested to get more of a specific idea but It’s just nice now taking less trips to the gas station for sure but also I couldn’t believe it and I said why am I all of sudden getting better gas mileage and someone told me the tune. I couldnt believe it but his explanation made a little sense I guess but that’s the only thing I can attribute better gas mileage to all of a sudden after I install a tune

The factory under tuned the CLS but the tune is a bit much. I'm finding that I use the E instead of the S mode because it's just to damn fast. Already blew through a tire in 5K miles. Hasn't affected the trans at all.
how reliable is tune I'm planning getting a 13 or 14 with low miles
