Wink SC 3865, 91 Tune, and a Heavy Foot!

Well I been running around with the 91 Tune and a SEVERELY heavy foot for the past week, hammering on the throttle from red light to red light, jamming the breaks as well I wanted to see how bad the mileage would be. The mileage hasnt been hurt too bad for the amount of fun its produced... 14 mpg! Guys with the tuners, whats the worst you have gotten?

My worst with the tuner has been 12 if I'm only going to work and back (Traffic, lights, two lane road, and one very impatient me with a heavy foot ). Previous to getting the tuner I was getting as low as 10, and all I've run is the 91 octane. I think the revised shifting is helping me more here than anything.

My worst was 14 with the 91 tune and heavy foot. I'm at a half a tank with 91 tune and a semi-light foot and its at 16.2. Not bad at all, I'm very happy with the tuner.

Are these the overhead MPG reading or hand calculated?

Mine where from the overhead.

I did hand calculate it when I had it on the milage xs tune and I got getting 17.8 all mixed driving. I think at that time when I filled up the overhead was saying 17.4
