Poor, I mean really poor MPG/Fuel Economy
2010 Cross Country. Lloydz intake, 1/4 turn throttle ring, stock debaffled exhaust, Lloydz tuner. I have been wicked lazy, not wanting to pull the tank to clean the filter, BUT could that really be draining the MPG? I am not really into power and performance etc, all I did was add the intake and 1/4 turn throttle ring. It was popping on decel, so I added the tuner, with the suggested settings from Lloydz.
I used to get well over 250 miles to a tank and now its about 150.
Thank you!!

You need a more accurate fuel tuner than that Lloydz VFC.

Yeah I should but unfortunately not in the budget any time soon. I got great fuel economy for a year plus after I installed the current tuner, which leaves me thinking that something else may be up.
Thanks for the reply so quick!

Sounds like you went from extreme lean to possibly rich or extreme rich if mileage has been dropping drastically. With that style tuner, putting it on a dyno and monitoring AFR while making changes can help get it closer to optimal levels. I understand Maximus remote option is a bit pricey, but will be dialed in afterwards. Volumetric Efficiency is key.

Agreed, Noe, and Rylan. I may look into that option next season, just cannot this year. Much appreciated for the efforts for sure!

A little late to see but if it’s still a problem it’s easy to remove the tuner and see if you get back into a more reasonable range.
