Yes, you are missing the VOLO Performance Chip. I installed mine 6 to 8 months ago and my mpg's climed by 1-2mpg pending on driving. I just did a 2400 mile road trip from Florida to Jersey with a motorcycle in tow (1500 lbs) and ended up with a 19.8 mpg average doing an average speed of 75 mph. Hit bumper to bumper traffic on the way in Maryland, Washington DC and Jersey. That is not bad at all fully loaded with a family of three and a dog. Used Premium gas only all the way there and back.Mark21 wrote:Sooo. I am amazed to see the mpg you guys are getting. I have a 2005 SE and have never gotten better than 18-19 on long drives. I usually have cruise set on 78 all the way. I always wondered how accurate the mpg gauge was. Am I missing something here or are the newer models that much better on gas.
Yes in all areas; however, I do have a cold air intake system from K&N and it was installed before I got the VOLO (hence the reason I got the VP12). Do not expect a huge difference though. The VOLO only changes the fuel mapping in the Cache memory (temporary memory) of your ECU. The gains are there but not to the point of overwhelming satisfaction. For the price I got what I was looking for in the VOLO and most of all I'm getting better mpg.Oly 22 wrote:Hi hfrez,
I am now looking into the VOLO chip more seriously. Are you noticing the increase in HP and torque as advertised as well as an increase in MPG? Can you feel the difference when you accelerate? Is it worth it?
