I would check for a hole in your fuel lines or gas tank. Also your o2 sensors are probably toast, if your tune is running in closed loop I would check your o2's. They control your part throttle cruising air fuel ratio, they will have the biggest affect on your fuel mileage.

You could worry about it and do all of that... or you could just tell yourself your car really gets 100+mpg and you just have a hole in the tank...

I wouldnt worry too much about it. My stock engine got 12mpg in town, but on the highway I would get 28-32mpg. It's all in how you drive, step on it once and the mpg goes downhill quick.

Hell yea, I figured it out when I got the car and stock (the way I drive an m6) I was getting around 15. Since then I just try not to think about it... I'd hate to know what I'm getting now, so I don't bother calculating it.

EFIlive & HPtuners are not hand held. I am just tuning my MS4 cam on EFIlive and i am having a bitch of a time doing it.
To the OP, sorry .
