Find someone local with HPTuners to tune it out for you. Will cost you $100.

How much oil is it burning? You have only 50k, have the plugs even been changed yet? If not maybe start there.

i think its about a half quart every 1000 miles its my daughters car so i just check it every so often i haven't tracked it that close. yes only 50k it was a garage queen before i got it. wanted my daughter to have something cool in high school but up north snow and weather make it hard for a rear wheel drive car. any other down falls besides fuel milage turning it off. car runs great and knock on wood tranny is good.

Bringing this post back hoping there is someone is the Tampa area with an HPTune... I'd be more then willing to fork over some cash as I don't want to tune anything but the DoD. Anyone in the area??

Tampa/Brandon line
